The Banquet Hall is now called the Jal Vihar. Carved screens, designed by poetic craftsmen separate the dining area from the reception hall.

The vaulted ceilings of both halls are crowned by moulding of the Ashoka Lions of India. The floors are laid with priceless Persian carpets inlaid with ancient motifs that evoke the Mughal era.

The Governor hosts banquets here for dignitaries and visiting Heads of State. Sterling occasions when the silver salvers reflect the luminescence of the tiered chandeliers. With each artistic leitmotif echoing another, Jal Vihar creates for guests an impressive dining experience.
