Jag Mandir

Jag Mandir is an island located in the middle of Lake Pichola. It was built by Maharana Karan Singh in the 17th century. Later several additions were made to it by Maharana Jagat Singh. It is said that once Mughal Emperor Shahjahan took refuge in this. The island has served as a venue of several events like weddings, and royal parties.

Prince Khurana lived in JagMandir in 1626 when he revolted against his father. Its architecture is truly praiseworthy. The beautiful carvings, especially a row of elephants in marble draw attention. The richly decorated pavilions have their own charm. Bara Patharon ka Mahal, Kunwar Pada ka Mahal and the Zenana Mahal are amazingly decorated. The meticulously carved Cenotaph in grey and blue stone must not be missed. Jag Mandir Palace also houses a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. You can get picturesque views of the City Palace, Lake Palace and the Aravali Hills from this jewel like island.
