The Monsoon Palace , formerly known as the Sajjan Garh Palace , is a hilltop palatial residence in the city of Udaipur, Rajasthan in India , overlooking the lake Fateh Sagar . It is named as Sajjangarh after Maharana Sajjan Singh 1874-1884 of the Mewar Dynasty , who built it in 1884. It offers a panoramic view of the city's lakes, palaces and surrounding countryside. It was built basically to watch the monsoon clouds; hence, appropriately, it is popularly known as Monsoon Palace. It is said that the Maharana built it at the top of the hill to get a view of his ancestral home of Chittaurgarh . Previously owned by the Mewar royal family, it is now under the control of the Forest Department of the Government of Rajasthan and has been opened to the public recently. The palace provides a beautiful view of the sunset.
