BEST PLACES TO VISIT IN UDAIPUR
8 COOL THINGS TO DO IN UDAIPUR, INDIA
Our one-month trip through India ended
with a stop in Udaipur, the ideal location to unwind and think back on our
adventures. Udaipur, also known as India's City of Lakes, has a very laid-back
attitude.
CITY PALACE IN UDAIPUR
It is a magnificent
architectural wonder comprising courtyards, pavilions, terraces, hallways,
rooms, and hanging gardens that rises majestically above the lake on a hill
enclosed by crenelated walls. The "Tripolia," a triple-arched gate
with eight marble porticos, is the principal entrance. Under the gate, the
Maharanas were weighed in gold, and the equivalent weight was then divided
among the inhabitants. The SuryanshiMaharanas of Mewar appeared before the
populace to reassure them during difficult times on the surajgokhada, the sun's
balcony. Other sights at the palace are the "ChiniChitrashala,"
notable for its blue and white ceramics, and the "MorChowk," known
for its magnificent peacock mosaics in the glass. Every night, cutting-edge
music and light performance are performed.
PRATAP MEMORIAL MOTI MAGRI
A striking
bronze statue of Maharana Pratap riding his beloved Chetak is perched atop the
Moti Magri, which overlooks Fateh Sagar. Locals ascend the hill to pay respects
to Rana Pratap and his loyal horse, "Chetak," who guarded him
ferociously and remained by his side until the end. While escorting his master
away from the Haldighati battlefield to safety, this devoted horse gave its
life in the process.
LAKE PALACE
Formerly
known as Jagniwas and used as a summer castle, it is now a hotel. The palace,
which faces east and was constructed on an island near Jagmandir in Lake
Pichola between 1743 and 1746, is a magnificent sight to behold. Semi-precious
stones and ornate niches are added to the black and white marble walls. Its
courtyards are lined with gardens, fountains, pillared terraces, and columns.
SAHELIYON KI BARI
Saheliyon-ki-Bari,
also known as the Garden of the Maidens, was created by Maharana Sangram Singh
II as a garden for women. It features various attractions, including a lotus
pool, fountains, marble elephants, and kiosks in addition to a small museum.
JAGDISH TEMPLE
Jagdish
Temple, one of the most well-known temples in and around Udaipur, was
constructed in 1651 and is a prime example of Indo-Aryan architecture. The
building, which is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, is a work of art in architecture
with carved pillars, beautiful ceilings, and painted walls. Maharana Jagat
Singh I constructed this three-story temple.
FATEH SAGAR LAKE
This lovely
lake is located to the north of Lake Pichola and is surrounded by hills and
forests. A canal connects Lake Pichola to this man-made lake. The lake is home
to the lovely Nehru Island and an islet that is home to the Udaipur Solar
Observatory. Connaught Bundh was the name given to it when it was first
established by the Duke of Connaught.
JAG MANDIR
A palace
named Jagmandir was constructed on an island in Lake Pichola. Construction on
this building, also known as the "Lake Garden Palace," started in
1620 and was finished about 1652. The palace served as the summer home and
gathering place for the royal family. It's interesting to note that when Prince
Khurram rebelled against his father, Emperor Jahangir, and became Emperor Shah
Jahan, he was offered refuge here. The Palace had such a profound effect on
Emperor Shah Jahan that it later served as the model for The Taj Mahal, one of
the most spectacular Wonders of the World.
