proceed to
City Palace, the biggest Palace in
India, where 4 generations
of Maharajas added their contribution, is so carefully planned and
integrated with the original buildings that it is difficult to believe

the beautiful peacock mosaic and miniature wall paintings of
Indian
mythology. Today we have an opportunity to visit a traditional painting
school and see the famous miniature
paintings done. In the evening we
have a boat ride on the
