Lake Palace (formerly known as Jag Niwas) is a luxury hotel, which has 83 rooms and suites featuring white marble walls. The Lake Palace is located on the island of Jag Niwas in Lake Pichola, Udaipur, India, and its natural foundation spans 4 acres (16,000 m2). The hotel operates a speed boat which transports guests to the hotel from a jetty at the City Palace. It has been voted as the most romantic hotel in India and in the world.
The Lake Palace was built between 1743 and 1746 under the direction of the Maharana Jagat Singh II (62nd successor to the royal dynasty of Mewar) of Udaipur, Rajasthan as a winter palace. It was initially called Jagniwas or Jan Niwas after its founder.
The palace was constructed facing east, allowing its inhabitants to pray to Surya, the Hindu sun god, at the crack of dawn. The successive rulers used this palace as their summer resort, holding their regal durbars in its courtyards lined with columns, pillared terraces, fountains and gardens.
The upper room is a perfect circle and is about 21 feet (6.4 m) in diameter. Its floor is inlaid with black and white marble, the walls are ornamented with niches and decorated with arabesques of colored stones, the dome is exquisitely beautiful in form.
Moved out, can't go back
And it's cold out, but I've got a place lined up to crash.
I know I'm lucky to say that.
Someday soon I may not be so lucky.
It's cold out, but it's warm in your arms
And right now, I can't ask for anything more
but you just keep giving me more.
Someday soon I may not be so lucky.
Sometimes it's so easy to see
but most times I don't bother looking
And sometimes it's ringing in my ears
like bells or something.
It's bright out with the sun off the snow
When I breathe out, I can see my breath.
And my heart's beating strong in my chest.
Someday soon I may not be so lucky.
It's hard now
It feels like everything to slowed down.
There's so many places I wish I could be.
So many friends that I wish I could see
and I know I'm lucky.
Sometimes it's so easy to see
but most times I don't bother looking
And sometimes it's ringing in my ears
