Chokelao Bagh was laid out in 1739 by Maharajah Abhai Singh, when it was planned as a terraced chahar bagh. Restored over the last ten years, the gardens are home to plants that can survive the long, hot months without constant watering. Divided into three terraced areas, the gardens display Mughal influence of the period, with each terrace having a different theme.Banana, desert apple, pomegranate, orange and jasmine are some of the flora housed in the gardens. Rearranged by Maharajah Takht Singh in 1844 AD, the gardens are apt for strolling and relaxing amidst nature. Banana palms, with their huge succulent leaves are planted in the lower terraces, along with other fruit trees. Night-time enjoyment is bestowed by the moonlight garden, or mehtab bagh.
