Palace built on an islet designed to host majestic parties and receptions and converted into a small 7-room hotel
Built on an islet in the 17th century by Maharana Karan Singh, it is the first palace of its kind. It was intended to organize majestic parties and receptions. Later, it served as a refuge for the Mughal Emperor Shajahan during a dispute with his father in the 17th century. According to legend, Shah Jahan was inspired by Jagmandir to build the Taj Mahal. On the island, you will see stone-cut elephants and a grey stone chattri (umbrella). The palace has been converted into a small hotel with 7 rooms, accessible to the public.

Un beau point de vue
Certes l'ile n'est pas très grande, mais elle offre un magnifique point de vue sur le lac Pichola. Les différent bateaux navettes qui sillonnent la lac font une halte sur l'îlot. On pénètre dans la cours du palais avec ses fenêtres qui donnent sur le city palace gardée par les statue d'éléphants. Il est possible de se restaurer ou boire un verre, c'est pas donné mais ça reste accessible. Puis on peut aller vers les jardins plus à l'arrière pour se prendre pour James Bond dans Octopusy, c'est ici que les scènes du palais ont été tournées. C'est une bonne heure agréable qu'on peut passer ici, même si il y a beaucoup mieux à faire à Udaipur.

This site has very little interest but is part of the boat ride on the lake. A small stop makes it possible to see some elephant sculptures and, above all, to have another vision on the city and the lake. Most places are reserved for hotel guests, so not much to see….

Je n'y ai pas accosté mais je l'ai approché en bateau, jolie architecture qui est bien mise en valeur le soir par un eclairage approprié.
