HOTEL OVERVIEW
Taj Lake Palace
Rising from the shimmering waters of Lake Pichola like a vision from a Mughal miniature, the Taj Lake Palace is India's most photographed and celebrated wedding venue. Built in 1746 as a royal summer palace for the Maharana of Mewar, this 18th-century white marble masterpiece has hosted royalty, heads of state, and the world's most discerning couples. Every corner of the palace tells a story of Rajput grandeur — from the lotus-shaped pool to the hand-painted frescoes and the breathtaking lake views from every room.
