RAM NIWAS GARDEN

The popular Ram Niwas Gardens located in Jaipur were laid
out by the last Maharaja Ram Singh II, as a famine relief project. At the
centre is the splendid central museum and near by is a small zoo and a
bird park, good on atmosphere but short on animals.
To provide open space and greenery to the citizens, this large garden
with a zoo, an aviary, a greenhouse, a herbarium, a museum and several
sports grounds was built during the reign of Sawai Ram Singh II in 1868.
The beautiful Indo-Saracenic structure of the Albert Hall designed by Sir
Swinton Jacob was opened in 1887 AD as a public museum. It contains a fine
collection of sculptures, paintings, decorative objects, natural history
specimens, an Egyptian mummy and the celebrated Persian garden carpet.
Recently the Rabindra Manch with an auditorium, a modern art gallery and
an open-air theatre has been added to promote cultural activities.
Ram Niwas Gardens are open all days except Friday, from 10AM to 4.30 PM.
