UDAIPUR TOURS GUIDE
.jpg)
The city of lakes Udaipur is a fascinating blend of
sights, sounds and experiences an inspiration for the
imagination of poets, painters and writers. It is known
as the Venice of the east. It is also called the city of
lakes. The Lake Palace on Jag Niwas Island in the middle
of Pichola Lakes is the finest example of its
architectural and cultural explosion. The grand City
Palace on the banks of the lake compliments the palace
along with the Monsoon Palace on the hill above. It is
also the centre for performing arts, craft and its famed
miniature paintings.
UDAIPUR TOURIST INFORMATION :-
You'd have to be a real cynic not to love the "City of
Sunrise," often described as the most romantic city in
India. Built around four lakes, the placid blue waters
reflecting ethereal white palaces and temples beyond
which the distant Aravalli Hills shimmer, Udaipur has a
real sense of space and peace, and the city is
mercifully free of the kind of intense capitalist
hucksterism that so marks the Indian street experience.
This may have something to do with its proud Hindu
history, for the city is not only known for its gracious
palaces, temperate climate, and beautiful views, but for
maintaining a fierce independence from even the most
powerful outside influences. Today, much of Udaipur,
particularly the old part on the shores of Lake Pichhola,
where the city's most striking landmarks -- the towering
City Palace and floating Lake Palace -- are situated,
still feels remarkably like a 16th-century Rajput
stronghold, and the benevolent maharana is still treated
like a reigning king by his devoted and loyal subjects.
You can witness this firsthand by attending the temple
at nearby Eklingji on a Monday evening, when the
maharana -- the 76th ruler of one of the world's oldest
surviving dynasties -- joins his subjects to pay his
respects to Shiva. Try to spend at least 3 to 4 days in
Udaipur, whether you spend them aimlessly wandering
through its mazelike lanes, taking a slow cruise on
Pichola Lake, exploring the giant medieval fortress and
palaces that rise from its shores, or setting off to see
the intricately carved Jain temples of Ranakpur and the
ancient fort of Kumbhalgarh -- or whether you do nothing
but loll around on a comfortable divan overlooking the
lake. You'll find the City of Sunrise the most relaxing
part of your sojourn in Rajasthan.
Udaipur HISTORY :-
Maharana Udai Singh II founded Udaipur in 1568 after his
citadel Chittorgarh was sacked by Mughal Emperor Akbar.
The legends says that Udai Singh was guided by a holy
man meditating on the hill near Pichola Lake to
establish his capital on this very spot. Surrounded by
Aravali Ranges, forests and lakes this place was less
vulnerable than Chittorgarh. Udaipur is the jewel of
Mewar a kingdom ruled by the Siodia dynasty for 1200
years. The foundation of the city has an interesting
legend associated with it.Accordaing to it, Maharana
UdaiSingh, the founder,was hunting one day when met a
holy man meditating on a hill overlooking the Lake
Pichhola. The hermit blessed the Maharana and advised
him to build a palace at this favourably located spot
with a fertile valley watered by the stream,a lake, an
alttitude and an ampitheatre of low mountains. Maharana
followed the advised of the hermit and founded the city
in 1559 AD.

UDAIPUR SHOPPING :-
Udaipur has a number of attractive handicrafts. You're
probably best off purchasing them directly from small
factories whose touts will beg you to visit, but be
beware that the commission system can add significantly
to the price, so don't buy the first beautiful thing you
see. The main shopping streets run from the City Palace
along Jagdish Temple Street to the clock tower and
beyond to Hathipol. Good areas are the Surajpol, Bapu
Bazaar, Chetak, and Ashwini markets. Udaipur is
considered a good place to purchase miniature paintings
(it has its own unique style, but if you're looking for
a bargain, you're better off purchasing in
off-the-beaten-track towns, like Bundi) and pichwai
paintings -- wall hangings painted on cloth or silk,
often featuring scenes from Krishna's life, that
originated in Nathdwara. Other goods worth keeping an
eye out for are puppets and other wooden folk toys,
enamel or Meenakari work, dhurrie rugs, tie-dye and
block-printed fabrics, embroidered bags and clothing,
and silver jewelry. As is always the case, consider
carefully before you buy (cheaper is not always better
and often means the object is a poor imitation), and
always try to bargain.
UDAIPUR CUISINE :-
Udaipur has lots of fine restaurants and fast food
corners. One can enjoy Mughlai, Indian, Continental,
Italian, Chinese and Rajasthani cuisine. Do try the
delicious Rajasthani thali while you are there which
many recommend should be had with a huge glass of
buttermilk.
