"Colours Unplugged"- Udaipur


What we people in general conceptualize, Rajasthan as a humid, hot desert area. But once you will feel this beauty you will be amaze to the core. From the cackle of its colour-charged cities to the luminous splendour of its sun-kissed desert, Rajasthan is romantic INDIA wrapped in gaudy royal robes. Here the fearsome Rajput warrior clans ruled with gilt-edged swords, plundered wealth and blood-thick chivalrous codes. So,implicit yet so perfect with a decent charm and glory. The city builded in the centre of lakes. Heart throbbing beauty!!
Known as the most diversified and romantic city, Udaipur does full justice to the image. A right blend of romantic ambience and historical chivalry of Maharana Pratap captivates people from around the world. As we reached here we were told that one day was not enough to explore this beautiful place. Appropriately called the 'city of lakes,' Udaipur is built around the azure waters of Lake Pichola, with its ornately decorated palaces and exquisitely laid out lake-side gardens. ...
Udaipur in Rajasthan” has everything that a tourist could go for ?
Placid lakes, rolling hills, scenic gardens, magnificent palaces and imposing historical monuments.
From the roof of the few hotels & few other monuments you can look out on Pichola Lake towards the charming waterfront and the old city with its silhouette of temples, havelis and palaces, and beyond it, the Lake Palace.Watermarked by whimsy and splendour, the Venice of the East holds stage as one ofIndia’s truly seductive cities. Udaipur is an international destination unto itself, with splendid Lake Pichola lapping against shimmering white buildings, and the Aravalli hills closing in to savour the view.The centrepiece of the city is the floating Lake Palace – brash enough for a Bond film (parts of Octopussy were filmed here), yet refined enough for his majesty’s pleasure. Packed with princeliness and passion, Udaipur is raw Rajput dreaming, with palaces,havelis and temples at every turn.Formerly known as Mewar, Udaipur was founded in 1559 when Maharaja Udai Singh II took flight from the final sacking of Chittor by the Mughal emperor Akbar. As Udai Singh and his contemporaries resisted Muslim might, the city grew a reputation for patriotic fervour and an aching love of independence.

Many more left to be explore …….. Let’s see how long the way to go….is!!!!
