Truly a eye catching or should I say eye riveting spectacle is the Mor Chowk or the Peacock square.  You can see 3 peacocks which is supposed to represent the 3 seasons done with colored mosaic.   This is a courtyard is a private courtyard which the kind gave private audience.  There are projecting balconies above in which the women sit secluded.  These parts were supposed to have been build after 200 years of the original construction of the city palace. Proceeding further from the Mor-Chowk, in the Zenana Mahal or women’s quarters exquisitely designed alcoves, balconies, colored windows, tiled walls, and floors are seen.
