A Palace with a Glorious Past

The story of Jagmandir Island Palace dates back to 1620, when it was commissioned by Maharana Karan Singh and later completed by Maharana Jagat Singh I. The palace served as a summer retreat and royal residence for the Mewar rulers, as well as a sanctuary for royal guests and dignitaries from around the world. Every marble corridor and carved archway tells tales of valor, artistry, and royal celebrations that have echoed across centuries.

The architecture of Jagmandir is a magnificent fusion of Rajput and Mughal styles, featuring grand domes, intricate jharokhas (balconies), and exquisite sculptures that reflect the craftsmanship of Rajasthan’s golden era. The palace’s iconic Elephant Gate, guarded by eight life-sized marble elephants, offers a regal welcome to all who arrive by boat.
