All the famous lakes viz Fateh Sagar Lake, Lake Pichola, Lake Govardhan Sagar can be seen from here. The palace also gives a beautiful view of sunset.
Its a 3 story above the ground building out of which 2 are open for public. The palace was started by Maharana Sajjan Singh, which was later on completed by Maharana Fateh Singh.
Built with the white marble, the palace fairly shows the luxury and royalty of Mewar Dynasty. From the Entry gate to the rooms and from the architecture to finishing, it reflects the perfection of art and endless hard work of the workers.
