Cultural programme at Jal Mahal
A cultural program will be organized by the Tourism Department on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings at Jal Mahal during the season. It will be done on the lines of light and sound in Amer. She directed that the vehicles of the tourists should go only to the Maotha parking and from here the tourists should be taken to the fort by battery-operated vehicles or small buses, so that the area can become a no-pollution zone.

Uniformity in the color of the shops
