Udaipur - City of Lakes
Udaipur is also known as the City of Lakes. The Municipal Corporation and the administrative headquarters of the Udaipur district is in the state of Rajasthan in western India. It is located 403 kilometres (250 mi) southwest of the state capital, Jaipur, 248 km (154 mi) west of Kota, and 250 km (155 mi) northeast from Ahmedabad. Udaipur is the historic capital of the kingdom of Mewar in the former Rajputana Agency. The Guhils (Sisodia) clan ruled the Mewar and its capital was shifted from Chittorgarh to Udaipur after founding city of Udaipur by Maharana Uday Singh. The Mewar province became part of Rajasthan after India became independent.
Apart from its history, culture, and scenic locations, it is also known for its Rajput-era palaces. The Lake Palace for instance covers an entire island in the Pichola Lake. Many of the palaces have been converted into luxury hotels. It is often called the \"Venice of the East\", and is also nicknamed the \"Lake City.\" Lake Pichola, Fateh Sagar Lake, Udai Sagar and Swaroop Sagar in this city are considered some of the most beautiful lakes in the state.
