The first island palace of Lake Pichola in Udaipur, Jagmandir was
constructed by Maharana Karan Singhji in 1622 AD and was intended to be a
pleasure palace for imperial parties and functions. It has served as a
shelter for Moghul Emperor Shahjahan when he was a prince against the
wrath of his father in the seventeenth century. The tale goes on to
say that Jagmandir was the inspiration behind the world-renowned Taj
Mahal, which Shah Jahan built in the memory of his departed wife,
Mumtaz.
