The city of Lakes, Udaipur is a lovely blend of water, lush
green hills that set fire and passion in poet. Its palaces are
straight out of a fairy-tale book, lakes, temples, gardens and
narrow lanes lines withdrawn with stalls, relives the reminisces
of a heroic past, valor and chivalry. Their reflection in the
placid waters of the Lake Pichhola is excitement that defines
imagination. Udiapur is the citadel of Mewar - a kingdom
ruled by the Sisodia dynasty for 1200 Years. The foundation
of the city has an interesting legend to go with it. According
to it, Maharana Udai Singh, it's founder, was hunting one
day when he came upon a holy man meditations on a hill overlooking
the Lake Pichhola.
The hermit blessed the Maharana and directed him to build
a palace at this spot which had a fertile valley watered by
the stream, a lake, an agreeable altitude and an amphitheater
of low mountains. Maharana following the divine advise founded
the city in 1559 A.D.
Now the City palace stand with it's full glory overlooking
the aquamarine expanses of the Lake Pichhola. The walled city
had eleven gates of which now only gates remain. The Suraj
Pol the original or Sun Gate on the eastern side is the main
entrance to the city.
