Jag Mandir

Jag Mandir is a palace built on an island in Lake Pichola. It is also called the "Lake Garden Palace". The palace is located in Udaipur city in the Indian state of Rajasthan. Its construction is credited to three Maharanas of the Sisodia Rajputs of Mewar kingdom. The construction of the palace was started in 1551 by Maharana Amar Singh and was finally completed by Maharana Jagat Singh I (1628–1652). It is named "Jagat Mandir" in honour of the last named Maharana, Jagat Singh. The royal family used the palace as a summer resort and pleasure palace for holding parties. On one occasion, the palace served as a refuge to asylum seekers. It features Mughal-style architecture. In 1623, Shah Jahan lived here when he was in revolt against his father.
