Vidyadhar Garden is a beautiful garden that was derived by the Rajputs of Jaipur from the Mughals' definition of Garden. Vidhyadhar Ka Bagh was made in order to bring a sense of relief in the scorched scenery of the desert land. The Garden is situated at a distance of 8 km in the east of Jaipur, on Jaipur-Agra Road. Initially, the place served as a vineyard to previous rulers then it was renovated to its present form.

Vidhyadhar Gardens is the only well-planned garden in the Majestic city of Jaipur, Rajasthan. Vidyadhar Garden was built in the memory of Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, the chief architect and the city planner of Jaipur. The Garden has been designed as per the rules and edicts of Shilpa Shastra, the ancient Indian line of architecture, just as Vidyadhar did while planning Jaipur.

The Garden in a desert area with many watercourses modifies the façade of the cityscape. A single glimpse of this terraced garden with ample greenery refreshes the inhabitants of the city. Vidyadhar ka Bagh is beautifully laid in the valley between two rugged hills consequently adding to the natural beauty of the countryside. Well-arranged fountains, flowerbeds and shady trees enhance the beauty of the Garden.

Arranged in layers, the Garden comprises several galleries, pavilions and splendid frescos depicting Lord Krishna, which is a pleasure to behold. If you are here, you are standing at a perfect spot where you can see peacocks and monkeys. Twilight is considered as the best time to the Gardens, when the setting sun and the lights illumine its outline in the backdrop of the adjoining hills. Vidyadhar Garden is a popular tourist attraction that allures people from both far and near.
