After the young prince, Maharana Jagat Singh II of Udaipur, was caught frolicking at moonlight picnics with ladies of the ‘zenana ( the private chambers of the court ) ’, he built his own pleasure palace on Lake Pichola.   The Maharana ( ruler )  called this palace which he built in 1746, Jag Niwas.   Jag Niwas is today the majestic and  magnificent  Taj Lake Palace of Udaipur.

Restored to its pristine glory, this spectacular palace became world renowned  when the James Bond film ‘Octopussy’ was filmed at it. It  was the secluded lair of the film’s eponymous Bond Girl. This heritage hotel has  66 luxurious rooms and 17 grand suites. Its location on an island in the midst of a lake affords every room breathtaking views of the neighbouring City Palace, Aravalli Hills, Machla Magra Hills and Jag Mandir.
