The Lake Palace is one of the most beautiful
palaces in the world, arising out of the Turquoise
Waters of the Pichola like an elegant fantasy
in white marble. The 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 . The Maharana,
ruler of Jaipur 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
in its courtyards. These courtyards lined with
columns, pillared terraces, fountains and gardens
all add to its impressive image. The rooms are
decorated with cusped arches, inland stones
of pink, and green lotus leaves and painted
mirrors. apartments like the Bada Mahal, Kush
Mahal, Ajjan Niwas, Phool Mahal and Dhola Mahal.
All enhance the romance of the elegant setting.
Among the facilities available are swimming
pool, conference hall and a bar.
