Rajbagh Ruins and Talao Ranthambore is another scenic lake inside the park, famous for the ruined stone pavilions, archways and walls that stand half-submerged on its banks. Safaris here feel almost cinematic: deer and birds graze in front of crumbling palace arches, while tigers sometimes use the old walls as shaded resting spots. The combination of wildlife, water and ruins makes Rajbagh one of the most photographed locations in Ranthambore, especially in the early morning light when mist hangs over the lake.
About this place
History & highlights
The exact dates of the Rajbagh ruins are uncertain, but they are believed to be part of hunting lodges, garden pavilions and outlying structures associated with Ranthambore’s royal estates during the Jaipur princely period (18th–19th centuries). Built close to water bodies for comfort and game viewing, many were abandoned as hunting declined and forests were rewilded. When Ranthambore became a sanctuary and later a national park, these structures were left to the elements; their present ruined state, intertwined with trees and creepers, visually narrates the transition from royal hunting ground to protected wilderness.
