Jodhpur Attractions

Phool Mahal (means ‘the palace of flowers’) is now the most popular period room in Mehrangarh Fort Museum. It was built by Maharaja Abhaya Singh in the eighteenth century as a private room for the king’s pleasure. The gold used for the construction of Phool Mahal is believed to have come from Gujarat as the booty of the war in which the king defeated a Mogul governor.

The other attractions in Phool Mahal, such as the paintings, portraits and raga mela, were the contribution of a later king, Jaswant Singh. The entry fee is Rs 200/-, which includes the charge for using still camera. For using video camera, an additional charge of Rs 200/- has to be paid.
