Lake Palace, Udaipur
The Lake Palace is

one
of the most beautiful palaces in the world, arising out of the turquoise waters
of the Pichola Lake like an elegant fantasy in white marble. The Palace was
built in the 17th century on a natural foundation of 4 acres of rock.
It was initially called Jag Niwas after its founder Maharana Jagat Singh I.
The Maharana, ruler of Udaipur from 1628 to 1654, was very friendly with Mughal
emperor Shah Jahan 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 amongst its columned courtyards, pillored terraces, fountains
and gardens. The rooms are decorated with cusped arches, inlaid stones of pink
and green lotus leaves and painted mirrors.
For the tourist today, Lake Palace is a refuge from the noise of the city. Apartments
like the Bada Mahal, Khush Mahal, Sajjan Niwas, Phool Mahal, and Dhola Mahal
all add to the romantic setting, which is just right for the guest to live like
a king.
