Solitary bees of the genus Megachile are known as leafcutter bees because of their unique ability of cutting leaves and then rolling them into a cute cylindrical structure to lay their eggs in. Like other solitary bees, they forage alone, seek out honey and pollen during the day and rest during the night. Only a female when she's ready to lay her eggs, she'll start her work of cutting leaves and making nest for her babies and then loading the nest with food for the baby bees. When she's not in motherhood duty, she'll just casually roam around alone and then after dark, find a secure place and rest. Sometimes they are like other solitary bees can be observed resting together in small groups as seen in the picture.

The Jal Mahal palace is an architectural showcase of the Rajput style of architecture Taj Mahal on a grand scale, from Mughal architecture. The building has a picturesque view of Man Sagar Lake, but owing to its seclusion from land is equally the focus of a viewpoint from the Man Sagar Dam on the eastern side of the lake in front of the backdrop of the surrounding Nahargarh hills. The palace, built in red sandstone, is a five-storied building, of which four floors remain underwater when the lake is full and the top floor is exposed. One rectangular Chhatri on the roof is of the Bengal type. The chhatris on the four corners are octagonal. The palace had suffered subsidence in the past and also partial seepage because of waterlogging, which have been repaired under a restoration project of the Government of Rajasthan.
