Taj Lake Palace, Udaipur: Raj before beauty, but this luxury is timeless

It's one the dreamiest sights in India – the scalloped arches and graceful domes of the long white marble palace that seems to float on the still waters of Lake Pichola in southern Rajasthan. It was built in 1746 and used as the guest house and summer palace of the Maharanas of Udaipur. Since 1971, it's been owned by the Taj hotel group, who've re-puffed the old Rajput elements while giving it a mostly successful modern sheen.
