Zenana Mahal Palace Museum is located at
Mandore Garden in
Jodhpur District of
Rajasthan. It was previously a palace, constructed during the reign of the local ruler Maharaja Ajit Singh (1671-1724) for the ladies of the harem.

Full-size portraits of the local rulers, such as Maharaja Ajit Singh, Abhay Singh and Takhat Singh adorn the walls of the gallery. This gallery also displays paintings depicting battle scenes involving Apaji Sindhia and Maharaja Gaj Singh. There's a large tiger-catching cage near the Zenana Mahal Entrance, and a tiny WWF shop nearby.
