1.Lake Palace, Udaipur

Located in Udaipur, the Lake palace was formally known as the Jag Niwas. The name was given to the palace after the island on which it was constructed.

The island too is known as the Jag Niwas. The lake surrounding this beautiful palace is the Pichola lake. It was constructed during the reign of Maharana Jagat Singh and took almost 3 years to complete. Made with white marble, this palace would leave you surprised.

It has now been converted into a five-star hotel. The hotel has speed boat facilities for transportation to and fro the island.

2.Mysore Palace, Mysore

The Mysore palace is the second most visited place in India after the Taj Mahal. It is a huge palace and is still a residence for the royal family of Mysore, i.e. the Wodeyars. The construction of this palace began in 1897 and was completed in 1912.

The architectural style of this palace is a perfect blend of the Rajput, Hindu, Muslim and Gothic styles. Watching the lush green gardens encircling the huge monument is a treat to one’s eyes. If possible, you must visit it during the Dussera festival. The festival is celebrated with great pomp and show.

You can see the entire ground flocked by musicians, elephants and so on. It is usually celebrated in the months of September or October.

3.Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur

The Umaid Bhawan Palace of Jodhpur is the largest private residence of the world. The royal family still stays here. A portion of the palace has been given to the Taj Hotels and hence, it also serves as a luxurious hotel.

This palace was not constructed for selfish reasons of the ruler; instead, it was built to provide employment to thousands of people who had lost everything due to the famine. The construction had begun in 1929 and went on till 1943. Another portion of this palace is a museum which displays a number of things used by the royal family at that time.
