This view of the Maharana's beautiful Palace, taken from an island in Pichola Lake, gives and impressive beginning to a picture tour of the medieval city, one of the most enchanting places in the world, where time stopped centuries ago and has since stood still; where vast hoards of gold, silver and priceless gems repose in palace vaults and where noble and beggar mingle in the Rai Angan or Royal Courtyard."
