Udaipur is a beautiful city housing enchanting lakes and surrounded by the lush hills of the Aravalis. Udaipur was a jewel of Mewar kingdom which was ruled by the Sisodia dynasty for 1200 years.

There is an interesting legend associated with the foundation of the city which says that Maharana Udai Singh, the founder of the city, went on hunting one day when he came across a holy man meditating on a hill facing the Lake Pichola. The hermit showered his blessings on the Maharana and advised him to build a palace at this suitably located spot with a fertile valley watered by the stream, a lake, an favourable altitude and an amphitheatre of low mountains. Thus, Maharana founded the city in 1559 AD and today, the splendid city of Udaipur stands gracefully reflecting the enchanting architectural glory of the gone era.
