In the middle of Lake Pichola, commanding a magnificent view of the City Palace, Lake Palace and Sajjangarh Fort, on its own island, was built the Jagmandir, where Prince Khurram was given refuge in the 17th centuary. A place that inspired him to build the Taj Mahal. Made of the finest yellow sandstone inlaid with marble, it has been dedicated to the Lord of the Universe. In the middle of its courtyard, is a most exquisitely carved chhatri of a special grey-green granite called "Pareva", imported especially for this purpose. Fountains play, in its magnificent courtyard as stately elephants guard the entrance to the island. A special landing on the west face was made to feed the crocodiles that live in the lake. LOCATION : 4 kms. from the railway station. |
