Royal Capital of a divine
dynasty, languid lake city or
'city of sunrise', Udaipur, was
founded in 1567 by Maharana Udai
Singh, a descendant of the
legendary Sisodias of Mewar.
Dotted with marble palaces,
hibiscus - laden gardens and
fountain pavilions, Udaipur
appeals to the imagination of
poets and painters, travelers
and writers like no other city
in the country. The city's
inherent romance and beauty and
its remarkable past redolent
with episodes of heroism and
splendor, continue to enthrall
the visitor even today. Udaipur,
the City of Dawn, looms up like
a vision in white. Surrounded by
hills and mountains and set on
the edge of three lakes which
lead on to a fertile plain - it
is a truly enchanting city.
Narrow streets lined with
vividly colored stalls, gardens,
temples and palaces mirrored in
the placid blue waters of lake
Pichhola, add to the magic of
Udaipur.
The shimmering Lake Pichola
surrounds the Lake Palace with a
unique mystique, all its own.
The Lily pond seems to carry
that very mystique inside, in
the centre of the palace. Here,
dining is a pleasure during the
day. And magic at night. The
effect is that of time coming to
a standstill. Nothing intrudes
your privacy, peace and
tranquility. Leaving you to
wonder if paradise can be this
serene.
