Taj Lake Palace
Another jewel from the Taj chain set in regal Rajastan…the Taj Lake Palace, is a 18th Century Historic Palace built of local Rajnagar marble hauled in from Udaipur, and floats incredibly like a pristine cloud in the centre of Lake Pichola.
The Mewar Royal family utilised Jag Niwas, built between 1743 and 1746 by Maharana Jagat Singh II, the 62nd custodian of the House of Mewar, as a summer hideaway for many years before Maharana Bhagwat Singh, Mewar of Udaipur converted it into this heritage hotel in 1963.
Did you know that after being meticulously restored, this impressive edifice rose to fame when it was selected as a location for the James Bond movie “Octopussy.”
