Rajasthan is a state which comprises the most of the beautiful
destinations present in the Great Indian Desert. Every city in Rajasthan
showcases the sheer essence of the Thar Desert except Udaipur. Udaipur
is a mesmerizing oasis present amidst the hot and humid desert. Udaipur
is the city of lakes which is located in the stunning landscape of the
Thar. It is quite a paradox in the humid desert of Rajasthan as the
charming lakes and fascinating scenic beauty stands in contrast with the
hot sandy terrain.
This city is dedicated and named after the person who established it - Maharana Udai Singh. The city is prominent by the name of the 'City of Dawn'. Poised elegantly at the foothills of Aravali ranges, Udaipur comprises bewitching scenic beauty. The exotic splendor of this city makes it the most stunningly picturesque city of the state. Standing gloriously since 1559, Udaipur is one of the prominent cities which showcase the intriguing ethnicity of Rajasthan at its best. The place is eminent for comprising the true essence of Rajput's vigor and way of life. This preferred tourist destination, Udaipur foretells a saga of courage, verve and pride of the country's most remarkable Rajput kings. Some of the significant residences of this romantic city have now been transformed into five star hotels.
This city is not only rich in terms of natural glory but it is historically and culturally affluent too. It is known for its enthralling palaces and glorious forts which are fortified with complex architecture. This city of dawn was ruled by the Mewar dynasty. This is the fact that explains why the wondrous palaces and forts stand as a tribute to the Mewar dynasty. The construction of this city is such that there are 5 gates that fringe the city. There were eleven gates but unfortunately now only five are left. The prime and the main entrance among the eleven gates is the Sun gate or Suraj Pol. It is also the longest passage of the city and is located at the eastern side.
The main attraction which any visitor should not miss is the City Palace. It is poised amidst the serene Lake Pichola. The palace is incredibly constructed by pure white marble and granite. It is the largest palace or one should rather say the largest complex in the state which comprises various palaces and Ghats in its interiors. It is an art piece of architectural excellence which showcases a unique fusion of Medieval, European and Chinese architecture. The artistic brilliance and perfect setting makes it the main attraction of Udaipur. Other captivating architectural edifices of the city include Chittaurgarh, the Jain temples of Ranakpur, the mountain retreat of Abu and the spectacular fortress of Kumbhalgarh.
Another attraction of the place is the striking forts which are now transformed into luxury heritage hotels that aim at keeping alive the royalty, culture and tradition of Rajasthan and their rulers. There are other luxury hotels too which endow a sheer essence of royalty while your stay in this glorious city.
