Udaipur – The City of Lakes & Palaces

Jagdish Temple - The Jagdish Temple is one of the most beautiful and important Hindu temples in Udaipur, located in the heart of the city near the City Palace.

Built in 1651 by Maharana Jagat Singh I, the temple stands as a symbol of the Mewar rulers’ faith and artistic excellence. The three-storied structure is made of finely carved stone and features elaborate pillars, gracefully sculpted ceilings, and detailed carvings depicting dancers, musicians, elephants, and divine figures.

At the top of the temple rises a majestic shikhara (spire) about 79 feet high, visible from various parts of Udaipur. The sanctum houses a striking black stone idol of Lord Vishnu, accompanied by idols of Garuda, Lord Shiva, Goddess Shakti, and Lord Ganesha in surrounding shrines.

Saheliyon ki Bari - Saheliyon-ki-Bari, meaning “Garden of the Maidens,” is one of the most charming and well-maintained gardens in Udaipur, known for its beauty, tranquility, and historical significance. Located on the banks of Fateh Sagar Lake, this lush garden was built in the 18th century by Maharana Sangram Singh II for the royal ladies of the Mewar court.

According to legend, the garden was specially designed for the queen and her 48 maidens who accompanied her after marriage. It served as a peaceful retreat where they could relax and spend leisure time away from the political affairs of the palace.

The garden is adorned with marble pavilions, lotus pools, elegant fountains, flower beds, and lush greenery, all laid out in perfect harmony. The fountains, fed by the natural pressure of water from Fateh Sagar Lake, create a refreshing and soothing atmosphere. The marble elephants and ornate kiosks add to the garden’s regal charm.

Lake Pichola - Lake Pichola is one of the most famous and picturesque lakes in Udaipur, often regarded as the heart of the “City of Lakes.” Created in 1362 AD by a Banjara (tribal) chieftain during the reign of Maharana Lakha, the lake was later expanded by Maharana Udai Singh II, the founder of Udaipur, who was so inspired by its beauty that he built the city around it.

Surrounded by palaces, temples, ghats, and hills, Lake Pichola is a serene oasis that reflects the grandeur and romance of Rajasthan. The lake stretches about 4 km in length and 3 km in width, offering breathtaking views, especially during sunrise and sunset.

Several beautiful islands and landmarks adorn the lake, including the Jag Niwas Island, which houses the stunning Lake Palace (now a luxury hotel). A boat ride on Lake Pichola is one of the most popular experiences in Udaipur, allowing visitors to admire the reflections of palaces and the Aravalli Hills shimmering on the calm waters.
