History:-
The Lake Palace was built between 1743 And 1746 under the direction of the Maharana Jagat Singh II (62nd successor to the royal dynasty of Mewar) of Udaipur, Rajasthan as a winter palace. It was initially called Jagniwas or Jan Niwas after its founder.
The palace was constructed facing east, allowing its inhabitants to pray to Surya, the Hindu sun god, at the crack of dawn. The successive rulers used this palace as their summer resort, holding their regal durbars in its courtyards lined with columns, pillared terraces, fountains and gardens
The upper room is a perfect circle and is about 21 feet (6.4 m) in
diameter. Its floor is inlaid with black and white marble, the walls are
ornamented with niches and decorated with arabesques of colored stones,
the dome is exquisitely beautiful in form.
During the famous Indian Sepoy Mutiny in 1857 several European
families fled from Nimach and used the island as an asylum, offered to
them by Maharana Swaroop Singh. To protect his guests, the Rana
destroyed all the town’s boats so that the rebels could not reach the
island.
