The Maharanas of Udaipur had five palaces in and around the CityPalace for winter quarters; the Jagniwas in Lake Pichola used as a summer palace (now the Lake Palace Hotel); the Jag Mandir on Pichola, used for festivals; the Lakshmi Vilas Palace for guests beside lake Fateh Sagar; and a monsoon palace up in the Aravalli Hills.
Each of the palaces were built specifically for the types of weather they were occupied in.
