The Lake Palace is located on the Jag Niwas Island and covers the whole of 1.5 hectare of the island in the middle of the Pichola Lake at Udaipur - the last Sisodia bastion and royal capital of Mewar and well connected to Delhi and Jaipur by train or bus.

The Lake Palace was built by Maharana Jagat Singh in 1743. The Maharana, ruler of Jaipur was very friendly with Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan from 1628 to 1654, and encouraged his craftsmen to copy some of the glories of his incomparable buildings at Agra . The successive rulers used this cool haven as their summer resort, holding their regal durbars in its courtyards. These courtyards lined with columns, pillared terraces, fountains and gardens all add to its impressive image. This Lake palace was built in the 17th century on a natural foundation of 4 acers of rock. It was initially called Jaginwas after its founder Maharana Jagjit Singh. |
