Often referred to as ‘Eastern Venice’, the
lake town of Udaipur is located in the vicinity of the lakes of water
surrounded by the lush green hills of Aravallis. The famous Lake Palace,
located in the middle of Lake Pichola is one of the most beautiful tourist
attractions in Udaipur. Then there is Jaisamand Lake, the world's
second-largest freshwater lake. The beautiful City Palace and Sajjangarh
(Monsoon Palace) add to the beauty of the building and the splendor of the
city. The city is also known for its abundant zinc and marble. The Solar
Observatory on Lake Fateh Sagar is the only Indian views on the island and is
modeled after the Big Bear Lake pattern in Southern California. The ten-day
Shilpgram Festival which runs from 21 Dec to 30 Dec attracts a large number of
people interested in the arts and crafts.
Udaipur was founded in 1553 by Maharana Udai
Singh II as the new capital of the Meewar Kingdom. It is located in the
fertile, rounded Girwa Valley just southwest of Nagda, the former capital of
Mewar.
City Palace is above Lake Pichola. The
balconies, cups, and palace towers offer beautiful views of the lake and the
surrounding city. The building consists of four large palaces and a few small
ones that together form the magnificent City Palace. The main part of the
palace is now preserved as an art museum.
Located just outside Udaipur, this
19th-century palace was built on the hills of Bansdara. Used as a rain palace
and hunting ground, its builder, Maharana Sajjan Singh, had originally planned
to make it an astronomical center. The plan was canceled on the premature death
of Maharana Sajjan Singh. It is still an amazing view of the sky of Udaipur and
offers amazing views of the city and its surroundings.
