JAGMANDIR ISLAND

The other island palace, Jagmandir, was commenced by Maharana Karan Singh, but takes its name from Maharana Jagat Singh(1628-52) who made a number of additions to it. It is said that the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan derived some of his inspiration for the Taj Mahal from this palace, after staying here in 1623-24 AD while leading a revolt against his father, Jehangir. Flanked by a row of enormous stone elephant, the island has an impressive chhatri carved from grey-blue stone. The view across the lake, to the city and its glorious golden palace, is a scene of rare beauty.
