As
you turn your head across the banks of the
picturesque Pichola Lake your eyes confront
with the most imposing white marble palace
that seems to float miraculously on the
still blue waters. This landmark palatial
structure in Udaipur is another name of
hospitality with a unique regal delight.
Set amidst awe-inspiring fairytale lawns
with sumptuous comfort and princely inspired
décor, Taj Lake Palace is perhaps
the most romantic palace of the world.
The
Taj Lake Palace, located in the middle of
Lake Pichola is a dream of white marble
and mosaic glistening in the moonlight,
very reminiscent of the most beautiful tourist
cliché in the world; the Taj Mahal.
Conceived in romance, the palace was built
in 1746 by Maharana Jagat Singh II, 62nd
successor to the royal dynasty of Mewar
– believed to be descendants of the
Sun God.
Set against the backdrop of the majestic
Aravalli Mountains on one side of the lake,
and lofty palaces on the other, the Taj
Lake Palace spreads across a four-acre island
– an almost surreal vision in marble.
The Royal Butlers descendents of the original
palace retainers look after all contemporary
comforts and ensure that all guests are
treated like Royalty.
