About Udaipur

Udaipur is in the central part of the fascinating region of Mewar. The kingdom of Mewar, with which many legends of bravery are associated, was considered the most respectable of all Rajput princely states in Rajasthan. Claiming descent from the sun (Suryavansha), the Sisodia dynasty that ruled Mewar for 1500 years is one of the oldest dynasties in the world. With a lineage of 76 generations behind, this clan fought for its respect and freedom. Like other Rajput kingdoms of the time, it never married off its daughters to the Mughals. Part of this lineage were Rana Sanga and Rana Pratap, great warriors who fought to defend their kingdom from invaders.

The capital of the Sisodia dynasty was Chittor till the 6th century, when it was moved to Udaipur, named after Maharana Udai Singh. According to legend, the Maharana was out hunting one day when he met a holy man meditating on a hill overlooking the Lake Pichola. The hermit blessed the Maharana and told him to built a palace at that very spot, as it would be well protected. The Maharana followed his advice and Udaipur came into being.

Today, Udaipur is a one of the better-known tourist destinations of India and an integral part of any itinerary for Rajasthan.

 


Lake Fateh sagar

Udaipur is known as the 'city of lakes'. The two most scenic and famous lakes of the city are Lake Pichola and Lake Fateh Sagar.
Lake Fateh sagar, lies to north of Pichola and was built by Maharana Jai Singh but it got the name of Fateh Singh who rebuilt its dam. Lake Fateh Sagar is a medium-sized perennial storage reservoir constructed in the year 1678 AD, by the rulers of former Mewar State.
On the banks of Lake fatehsagar is Hotel Rampratap.

Pichola Lake

Situated on the western side of Udaipur, it derives its name from a nearby village Picholi. Udai Singh built a dam and since then the lake has become a meeting place for more than two hundred species of migratory and non-migratory birds.

Location of Rampratap Hotel

Ram Pratap is an enchanting hotel combines old world charm with the more modern benefits in comfort. Ideally located on the banks of the lake Fateh Sagar, it is a mere 5 kms away from the railway station and 20 kms from the airport.

Udaipur, the city of lakes nestles like a jewel in a valley surrounded by the green aravalli hills reflected in the smooth and clam water of the Fetah Sagar Lake. The old city is build on tiny hills. Narrow medieval roads and lanes wind and bend, with a small temple at each turning, making the city one of the most charming in all Rajasthan.

 

Tourists Attractions

If Jaipur is a study in pink, Udaipur is a vision in white. The City of Dawn, surrounded by the ancient Aravali Mountains and set on the edge of three lakes, is a brilliant kaleidoscope of narrow lanes flanked by bright stalls, gardens, lakes, palaces and temples.

Overlooking the aquamarine waters of the Lake Pichola stands the shimmering granite and marble City Palace, a harmonious arrangement of courtyards, pavilions, terraces, corridors, rooms, and hanging gardens. Eight marble porticos mark the spot where the Mewar sovereigns were weighed in gold, the equivalent value of which was then distributed to the poor. Within the City Palace are several architectural and artistic highlights such as the Mor Chowk, known for its stunning peacock mosaics and the Bhim Vilas Palace that has a series of lovely wall paintings.

However, the most memorable parts of Udaipur are its lake palaces, shimmering like jewels on the Lake Pichola. Jag Niwas, the summer residence of the princes of Mewar, is today a magnificent luxury hotel. Jag Mandir, the other island palace, with a marble dome, is a marvel in red sandstone. It was a refuge for Prince Khurram (better known as Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan) when he was in exile following a quarrel with his father, Emperor Jahangir.

Just outside Udaipur, on a hilltop, lies Sajjangarh, a dramatic 18th century palace that gives a breathtaking view of the Mewar countryside. The palace was originally intended to be a five-story astronomical center, but was later abandoned and used as a monsoon palace and hunting lodge.
