built the Taj Mahal at Agra.
The rulers of Udaipur enjoyed the beauty and tranquillity of the palace. When
heir apparent Maharana Jagat Singh II was restrained by his father to curtail
his moonlight soirees at the island, he vowed to built his own island palace.
The result was the creation of Jag Niwas, now Taj Lake Palace, which was
inaugurated with lavish and elaborate festivities in 1746.

Lake Palace Wasserpalast , Eines Tages soll der junge Prinz Jagat Singh
seinen Vater um die Erlaubnis gebeten haben, sich mit ein paar Freunden auf
Jag Mandir vergnügen zu dürfen. Der alte Maharana verweigerte damals die
Erlaubnis mit dem Hinweis, daß Jagat Singh, wenn er wolle sich ja einen eigenen
Palast auf dem See bauen könne. Daraufhin war der Prinz in seiner Ehre gekränkt,
er vergaß die Worte seines Vaters nicht und errichtete seinerseits auf einer
nahegelegenen felsigen Insel einen prachtvollen Vergnügungspalast - eine
posthume Antwort an seinen barschen Vater. Der Wasser Palast und der zugehörige
Grund und Boden bedecken eine Fläche von circa 1,5 Hektar. Der reichlich mit
Stück verzierte Gebäudekomplex ist mit Marmor ausgelegt und wird von
Granitsäulen getragen. Der Lake Palace, heute in ein Hotel umgewandelt, bietet
wahren Luxus und erscheint wie ein Traum. Die Gärten, Brunnen und aufwendig
ausgestatteten Räume sind ein erholsamer Zufluchtsort in exotisch-märchenhafter
Umgebung. Der Lake Palace ist nur für die Hotelgäste zugänglich.
