Lake Palace
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 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.
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
