Kishangarh season by season

Winter December to February Prime time

At 7-25 C the walk works: Phool Mahal above Gundalao lake, then the ateliers still painting in the Bani Thani style.

Summer March to May Shoulder

April-June hits 43 C and the marble slurry yard turns into blinding white glare with zero shade; go at sunrise or skip it.

Monsoon June to September Mixed, read the detail

July-September brings most of the district's 500 mm; Gundalao fills and the slurry flats become sticky white mud.

Autumn October to November Prime time

October-November is dry and mild, and this is a real half-day escape from the dargah crush in Ajmer 27 km down NH-48.
