The Lake Palace or Jagat Niwas is a white marble summer residence of  the princess of  
Mewar, built in 1746 by Jagat Singh. Set on an island, the whole palace appears
to float on the blue waters of  Lake Pichola. The airy stucco complex with
dainty balconies, terrace gardens, fountains and arched windows,
reflects the brightness of the sun, sky and lake. The interiors
are lavishly decorated with paintings,
stained glass and crystals.
