The Palace is a magnificent edifice and a fine example of Rajput architecture, housing some of the superb Bundi murals.
Visible from the Fort is the square artificial lake of Nawal Sagar, broken up by islets. A temple dedicated to Varuna, the Aryan God of water, stands half submerged in the centre of the lake. The lake reflects the entire city and its palaces, making it a unique attraction.
