Sukh Mahal was got built by Rao Raja Vishnu Singh (1773-1821) in the supervision of his Diwan Sukhram in 1776. Hence it is named Sukh Mahal. Rudyard Kipling stayed in it for two days and wrote very highly of valuable significance of Bundi's man made & natural heritage.
It lies by the lake Jait Sagar which makes it appear as if its foundation is under the water. It is designed with some superb statues and typical Bundi art. The main attraction of Sukh Mahal is a white marble Chhatri or an umbrella. There is an amazing Umbrella at the terrace of the second storey of the mahal. Another interesting fact about this Mahal is that it is said to be connected with the old palace through a hidden underground tunnel made to ensure safe escape for the king and others in his kingdom in case of any attack.
It have a garden and museum and many long trees. It build on Jait sagar lake dam. It have a collection of ancient articles and paintings. Main attraction is the view of jait sagar from here. It is now turned into a museum and is open for the visitors to see around the palace. There is a ticket for entry.
