Jagmandir

Part of the City Palace complex, Jagmandir is an island in Lake Pichola, home to a historic 17th century marble palace. In 1624, the Mughal prince Khurram sought refuge in the then incomplete palace, staying inside a bluestone domed pavilion - Gol Mahal – with gemstone-studded walls and a courtyard blooming with white and black lilies. It inspired his vision for the Taj Mahal, after he ascended the throne as Emperor Shahjahan. Known as swarg ki vatika (heavenly garden), Jagmandir has attracted global celebrities, film stars and royalty over decades. The Garden Courtyard, Kunwarpada Chowk and Kunwarpada Lawns provide separate venues within the palace for lush wedding ceremonies with flowers, dance and fireworks, glamorous soirees and themed sit-down dinners.
