The island palace, Jagmandir, was completed 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 ideas for the Taj Mahal from this palace after staying here in 1623-24 while leading a revolt against his father, Jehangir. The view across the lake from the southern end, with the city and its great palace rising up behind the island palaces, is a scene of rare beauty and becomes even more picturesque at night.
Of course (as one never fails to hear) the Lake Palace was the setting for Octopussy and is a beautiful island which apparently has a fabulous restaurant and food. Next time we visit......! < http://www.indiasite.com/rajasthan/udaipur/
