History

Step into a fairytale where history whispers through intricate corridors and royal elegance greets you at every turn. The City Palace Udaipur is not just a marvel of architecture but a majestic tale of the regal past of Rajasthan. A jewel in the heart of the City of Lakes, this iconic palace promises an experience like no other.

Founded by Maharana Udai Singh II in 1559, City Palace Udaipur, or the palace by the Pichola, with its white façade facing towards a serene and emerald-laden Lake Pichola, forms the grand monument of this glorious residency of the Mewar dynasty. As many centuries had elapsed since it came into being, successive rulers modified it so intricately to infuse various forms of architecture-influences-Mughal, Rajasthani, Chinese, and European into it.

Step inside and you are left speechless with the City Palace Udaipur interior. Glory is done to the coming and going of visitors with a sparkle due to mirror work in Sheesh Mahal, wall paintings of intricate detail in Badi Mahal, colourful balconies, and gorgeous courtyards and ornate arches speaking of valour and glory. A museum containing royal artefacts, weapons, and paintings is also found there. The museum provides visitors with a hint of the Mewar dynasty's legacy.

This architectural wonder has to be visited through Udaipur Tour Packages, and it indeed is a big part of the Rajasthan Tour Packages. Beyond being beautiful, it has been host to numerous events that have made it a great centre of culture for Rajasthani tradition.

A visit to City Palace seems like a time travel ride, whereas standing there itself is a timeless beauty. Be an architectural enthusiast or a City Palace Udaipur history freak, you must be a crazed lot going nuts with that enthralling capture of royal glory from Udaipur.
