Jag Mandir Restaurant
Udaipur India February 2009
The first island palace of Lake Pichola, Jagmandir was built by Maharan Karan Singhji in 1622AD and was intented to be a pleasure palace for regal parties and functions. It was served as a refuge for Moghul Emperor Shahjahan when he was a prince against the wrath of his father in a family dispute in the seventeenth century. The legend says that Jamandir was the inspiration behind the world-famous Taj Mahal, which Shah Jahan built in the memory of his deceased wefe, Mumtaz Mahal. The island has some elegant stone carvings and a big row of elephants, a chhatri (umbrella) made of gray blue stone and ample coutyards, trees and flowers.
