Udaipur beauty sends Rolling Stones legend into raptures
IANS
Udaipur: Music legend Mick Jagger, who made a quiet visit to Udaipur last week with his daughter, was so impressed by the scenic beauty of the city that he has expressed interest in buying a piece of land here.
Jagger, 64, and best known as the lead singer of Rolling Stones, had come to this lake city along with daughter Jade to attend the wedding of his close friend and former cricketer Dilip Doshi's son on January 21.
"Mick Jagger and Jade had come here on January 21 and they stayed in the Hotel Lake Palace here till January 26," a source at the Taj group's Hotel Lake Palace said.
He said Jagger showed interest in the city, mentioning he would like to buy a piece of land in Udaipur as he really "liked the peace and scenic beauty of Udaipur".
He was very keen to know about the place's past and was awestruck by the authenticity and history of the Lake Palace. The Taj Lake Palace, located in the middle of Lake Pichola, is a white marble dream. The palace was built in 1746 by Maharana Jagat Singh II.
After the grand ceremonial welcome along with a rose-petal shower and a round of Moet Chandon champagne, the guests were escorted to the ultra-luxurious Sajjan Niwas suite and were briefed about the history of the palace and the suite.
Spectacular
During the stay, they enjoyed the wedding functions and ceremonies in the hotel. They were also impressed by the beauty of the hotel. Jagger visited the City Palace and also went for a sightseeing tour of the city.
"I am enjoying the stay so much that I don't want to leave," Jagger wrote in the visitor's book. |

You and me both. LOL
Here's a shot of the Hotel Lake Palace.
And no doubt Mick would feel right at home in this cozy little cabin. It's the City Palace mentioned in the article.
This site features photos of many of the the suites, including the Sajjan Niwas where Mick stayed, in case Josh is thinking of booking a stay.

Mick's obviously got an eye for architecture and art.
Throw some historic significance in and he's jello.
