The Prince, Maharana Jagat Singh requested Maharana Sangram Singh II, his father, if he could live in the pleasure palace Jagmandir with his ladies. The Maharana did not give permission, and taunted the prince that if he was so keen to stay in an Island Palace, why doesn't he build one for himself. It is this taunt that led to him building his own beautiful pleasure palace on Lake Pichola in the year 1743. The Maharana called this palace "Jag Niwas" which he finished building in 1746, which is today the majestic and magnificent Taj Lake Palace of Udaipur.
