Udaipur, in the far southern region of the Indian state of Rajasthan, is a historical and cultural hub. As the former capital of the Mewar Kingdom, it was established in 1559.
The city's location between Mumbai and Delhi's two major metropolitan areas makes it easy for visitors to reach the city. It's easy to notice Udaipur, as it's a cultural capital with many noteworthy attractions. The government of India took care to protect and maintain the city's renowned lake system.
It has an air of Venice, thus the name "Venice of the East," although the town is lovely in its own right. This magical city has many beautiful palaces, including the Bagore Ki Haveli, Jagmandir, and Sajjangarh Monsoon Palace. The City Palace of Udaipur, the city's largest and oldest structure at more than 300 years old, is a must-see. It is located on a hilltop where you can enjoy a panoramic view of Lake Pichola and Lake Palace on the lake's banks. Within the palace, you can find the 4-century-old Jagdish Temple, which stands among detailed carved pillars, well-decorated interiors, painted walls, and spacious halls and corridors. It's a peaceful haven that hints at times gone by.
Udaipur is tagged as the "City of Lakes," and it is Lake Pichola's honor to carry that moniker. Mornings see a flurry of boat traffic as visitors cruise the lake and visit the nearby palaces. The lights emanating from the palaces at night spill color on its waters.
The lake's center lies the Lake Palace, built about 300 years ago. This historic building was once the summer residence of Udaipur's royal family. It screams sophistication with its many amenities, including a pool, bar, restaurant, cafe, and conference room.
Huge parties and events can also be held in the building's function spaces. Museums are also an enjoyable way to learn more about this historic place, and if you enjoy looking at anything vintage, the Vintage Car Museum is just suitable for you. It features a collection of vintage cars owned by the Maharanas of Mewar. If you go further into the city, the Saheliyon ki Bari will welcome you with fresh air. Considered to be one of the sought-after gardens, its name translates to "Gardens of Maid" in English.
Every year, visitors come to take pictures of the beautiful fountains, marble sculptures, and verdant lawns. In addition to the Taj Lake Palace, Fateh Sagar Lake, and the Ahar Museum, other well-known destinations include Shilpgram and the Bhartiya Lok Kala Mandal. ◄
