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.
