Lake Palace, Udaipur The Lake Palace of Udaipur, constructed between 1743 and 1746 during the reign of Maharaja Jagat Singh II, is the stuff of legends! This palace, which spans a four- acre area on the Jag Niwas Island in the heart of Lake Pichola, offers some breathtaking vistas. The royal family's summer vacation was the purpose for which this palace was constructed. Its interiors are stunning; the walls are painted with lovely and vibrantly coloured arabesques, while the floors are a timeless monotone. The Taj Hotels and Resorts Palaces bought the Lake Palace in 1971. It was transformed into a resort with 83 opulent and lavish rooms! It is now regarded as one of the most romantic locations by couples who visit on their honeymoon. The Lake Palace was used as a filming site for Hollywood and Bollywood movies including Octopussy and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani due to its splendour.
