just outside the walled city is the sprawling Ram Niwas garden,
which has always been a place for recreational activities
since the reign of Sawai Ram Singh ji . This exquisitely designed
garden with force entry doors and a huge complex with small
pools and fountains, flourishing lawns and beautiful flower
beds all around was basically a famine relief project. It
mostly attracted the British families where they entertained
their guest and families quite often with the lavish gowns
of the Men and formal colorful attires of the nobles and the
high society club members, this park would come alive with
the setting sun. Their individual 'BAGGIS' were parked outside
in a line and the attendants served around as helpers. The
children basically had a gala timely playing around in 'JHULAS'
(swing) etc. During day time it was opened for the common
public and by the evening it was opened for common public
and by the evening it was available for exclusive lots.
Situated
in the middle of the garden as a centre attraction was the
exquisitely built structure of Albert Hall, which was designed
by sir Swinton Jacob, a British architect who designed many
palaces in Rajasthan. Combining the elements of English and
north Indian architecture known as the pride of the New Jaipur
opened in 1887 AD,
