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.
There were many different places for each of the seasons.
The owners of the palaces would live in one of the palaces all year.
