Jagmandir is a pleasure palace built on a small island in Kishore Sagar, a large artificial lake created in 1346 by the Bundi princes. The palace was added in the 18th century and is reached by boat from the lakeside ghats. The setting is beautiful: white marble pavilions reflected in still water, with the hills of the old city rising behind.
Boats to the island leave from the ghats near the fort throughout the day. The interior is modest, but the views back to the city from the island are the real reward. The lake itself is home to a resident population of waterbirds, including painted storks and various herons, visible from the banks year-round.
