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.
