This "floating" pure white palace in the water, from sunrise to sunset, under the sun, the color of the palace from milk white to golden to light yellow to bright white, and then from bright white to light yellow, golden, light red, and finally restored to the tranquil milk white... It really feels like a fairy tale, Udaipur is also considered the "most romantic" city in Rajasthan.

As the soul of "Lake City", the mirror-clear and wide Picula Lake not only reflects the continuous distant mountains, but also the Lotus-like white lake on the palace. Maharana • Udai • Singh built this lake artificially on the original site of the village formerly known as "Picula", not only satisfying the royal pleasures, but also regulating the climate, making this city located in the "desert state" cooler and moister than other Rajasthan cities. It became the name of Udaipur "Lake City". Lake Picula is 4km long and 3km wide. The center of the lake is quietly floating two small islands, one is Jag Mandir, known for its marble-like appearance, and the other is the famous Jag Niwas, which has now been changed to the Taj Lake Palace Hotel (Taj Lake Palace), Non-resident tourists cannot board the island. Tourists can choose to take a boat tour of the lake from Rameshwar Ghat or Lal Ghat.
