The City Palace
City Palace is a real joy to see in Udaipur. A fine work of
marble and granite, the City Palace is the largest palace
in Rajasthan. The Palace Overlooking the lake Pichola its
exceptional worksmanship makes it a must on every visitor's
itinerary. The three mahals - Baari, Dilkush and Moti, the
Suraj Gokhada of the Sun Balcony, the Mor Chowk Known for
its beautiful peacock Mosaics ; the shrine of Dhuni Mata and
the Museum of Rana Pratap are the highlights of this palace
complex.
Jagdeesh Temple
Close to the City Palace is the Jagdish Temple which displays
some commanding sculpted figures and elaborately ornamented
interiors. At a short distance is the Sahelion-ki-Bari or
the Garden of Maidens which has four pools and delicately
carved kiosks and elephants in marble. Built in the early
18th century, this is now a popular tourist spot.
The Lake Palace
This marble palace that seems to be floating on the Lake Pichola
is no doubt the most remarkable attraction of Udaipur. Now
a luxury hotel, this palace can be accessed by boat from the
city palace which overlooks it.
Ahar
Archaeological ruins that date back to 4000 B.C. are found
here. A museum stands next to the excavation site. Also of
interest are the beautiful cenotaphs of kings near the Gangabhairu
tank
