History:
Man Mahal was built in the 16th century by Raja Man Singh I, the Rajput ruler of Amber (Jaipur). It served as his royal residence during his visits to Pushkar, particularly for the annual camel fair. Later, it was used as a guesthouse for royal guests and dignitaries. Over time, it fell into disrepair but has since been restored and converted into a heritage hotel, preserving its historical significance while offering modern amenities.
