The city of
Dawn,Udaipur is a lovely land around the azure water lake,hemmed
in by the lush hills of the Aravallis. A vision in white
drenched in romance and beauty, Udaipur is a fascinating blend
of sights, sound and experiences and inspiration for the
imagination of poets,painters and writers. Its kaleidoscope of
fairy-tale palaces,lakes,temples,gardens and narrow lanes strewn
with stalls,carry the flavor of a heroic past,epitomizing valour
and chivalry. Their reflection in the placid waters of the Lake
Pichhola is an enticing sight.
Udaipur is the jewel of Mewar-a kingdom ruled by the Sisodia
dynasty for 1200 Years. The foundation of the city has an
interesting legend associated with it. According to it, Maharana
Udai Singh, the founder,was hunting one day when he met a holy
man meditations on a hill overlooking the Lake Pichhola.
