The city, though a favourite tourist spot is thankfully devoid of the usual drone of tourists. The lake, which really draws travelers here, tends to run somewhat dry owing to prolonged droughts. Hence, it's best visited during monsoons, when the rains fill it up again. Set aside at least 3 to 4 days here, to explore its magnificent City Palace and Lake Palace, wander in its mazelike markets, take a leisurely cruise on the Pichola or explore the temples and forts of Kumablgarh and Ranakpur. Whatever you choose to do, rest assured Udaipur's temples, palaces and vibrant culture would simply take you in…

Tongas and auto-rickshaws are available and are relatively cheaper mode of travel. You would, however, need to bargain with the drivers. Udaipur also offers a reasonably good bus service and city buses are regularly used by people. These buses can be availed at a small amount, though they don't have any fixed schedules to follow. 
 For a truly innovative way of traveling, hire a bicycle or motorbike, since Udaipur is a small city and traveling from one end to the other, isn't all that difficult.</td>

	 <tr>
 <td align="justify" class="body-text"><img src="http://www.travelguru.com/travelguide/images/udaipur-what-to-see.jpg" hspace="15" width="220" height="140" class="body-img" alt="Udaipur" align="right" />City Palace Complex: Located on the east bank of Lake Pichola, the City Palace with its 11 palaces could just as well be the largest palace complex in Rajasthan. It is particularly beautiful when you watch the cream stone walls and towers reflected in the lake. Get your hands on the guidebook to maneuver your way through this mazelike sprawling complex, or hire the services of a guide, and set aside at least 3 hours to walk through it. Exploring the entire palace is worthwhile - its highlights include the huge peacock motifs in the Mor Chowk, the mirror-encrusted Moti Mahal, glass and porcelain figurines at Manak Mahal, miniatures of Lord Krishna at Krishna Vilas, the palace of the queens or Zenana Mahal and the Chini Mahal with its exquisite Chinese and Dutch ceramics. Out of the 11, the last 2 palaces, Shiv Niwas and Fateh Prakash are open for visitors who wish to stay overnight or enjoy a dining experience fit for kings! Fateh Prakash in particular is worth visiting for its Durbar Hall, which is the royal portrait gallery and houses massive chandeliers and Venetian mirrors. The Crystal Gallery is strikingly beautiful with its crystal furniture, fountains, bowls, decanters, perfume bottles and crystal jewellery collected by Maharana Sajjan Singh.
 
 
 The palace grounds have the Classic Vintage Car Collection of the Mewar royal family - definitely a sight! The palace windows also provide super views of the Lake Palace and the Jag Mandir, which seem to float on the Lake when the water levels are high. 
 Open from: 9:30 am-4:30 pm, Gallery: 10.00 am-1.00 pm, 3.00 pm-8.00 pm 
 Entry fee - Jagdish Temple - Rs 50, Camera - Rs 200, Crystal Gallery - Rs 300 
 Vintage Car Collection viewing: 9.30 am-5.30 pm, Rs 100 (with beverage), Rs 130 (includes a veg thali) 
 
 Note - Photography is not allowed in the Crystal Gallery
 
 
 Lake Pichola: The central system of the city, Lake Pichola is most enthralling during the rains when water fills it up completely. It houses within the beautiful Lake Palace created in marble, today a converted heritage hotel. Another island palace is the Jagmandir Palace, which has intricate carvings of elephants and a carved chhatri in grey and blue. There are several ghats, which can be accessed by boat. These island palaces and the Aravalli Hills are reflected in the lake when water fills it up creating a pretty picture. The lake is also home to a number of crocodiles, which are visible when the lake is relatively dry. A must-activity here - catch splendid views of the landscape against the setting sun in a boat.
 Fateh Sagar Lake: An artificial lake, it is located north of Lake Pichola and houses within it in the centre the Nehru Island, a boat shaped café and an islet bearing The Udaipur Solar Observatory. It is particularly enthralling because of the views of the Aravalli Hills reflected in the waters. 
 Jagdish Temple: One of the largest temples in Udaipur, this temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, whose black image it houses within, complete with four arms. This shrine is flanked by four other shrines dedicated to Lord Ganesha, Goddess Shakti, Sun God and Lord Shiva. The temple is three storied and has beautiful carved pillars, carved ceilings and painted walls. The central spire has sculptures of dancers, elephants, horsemen, celestial beings and musicians. The entrance is flanked by two stone elephants and a brass idol of Garuda. 
 Open from: 5.00 am - 2.00 pm, 4.00 pm - 11.00 pm 
 Other Temples: Udaipur is home to several important temples dedicated to every possible Hindu god you can think of! One of the most popular of these is the Eklingji Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, whose four-faced idol is crafted out of black marble. The temple is double storyed, with a pyramidal style roof and a silver image of the Nandi Bull. The central Shivalinga is surrounded by Goddess Parvati, Lord Ganesha and Lord Kartikay. Within the temple complex are idols of Goddess Yamuna and Goddess Saraswati. The Jagat Temple is dedicated to Goddess Durga, and is beautifully carved on the inside and outside. A highlight of this is the central mandap, decorated with motifs. Carved with images of celestial dancers and horses, the alcoves in the façade contain images of Durga in her several manifestations. The famous Nathdwara Temple is designed simply and dedicated to Lord Krishna as Srinathji. An idol of the god is carved out of black stone and is shown with its hand holding the Govandhan Mountain. Worth visiting during Janamashtami, when Lord Krishna birth is celebrated with great fervour. Another Jain pilgrimage spot is the Ranakpur Temple, dedicated to Lord Adinatha. These temples are renowned for their intricate carvings, replete with pillared halls and domes supported by columns. The complex has several temples, including Chaumukha temple, Parsavanath temple, Amba Mata Temple and Surya Temple. Its special feature - no two columns within have the same design. 
 Saheliyon ki Bari: The garden was a popular relaxing retreat for royal ladies and is a striking picture of well-tended lawns, marble artwork and fountains. The garden also has a museum showcasing ancient pictures and memorabilia dating to the royal period. The garden has a lotus pool and a sitting decorated with paintings and glass mosaics. 
 Sajjangarh Fort: This is possibly one of the best places to catch picturesque views of Udaipur city and Aravalli hills. The Sajjangarh Palace was the monsoon retreat for the royalties, and this white palace has high turrets guarding it. Also located here is the Sajjangarh Wildlife Sanctuary, which is a natural sanctuary of the Chital, Sambar, Wild Boar, and Blue Bull, along with several varieties of reptiles and birds. 
 Open from: 10.00 am - 6.00 pm
 Entry fee - Rs 10
 ShilpGram: This village houses craftsmen, expert at creating terracotta wares and wooden carvings, which you can purchase as souvenirs. If you're visiting it during winter, don't miss out on the Craft Festival, which showcases these arts and crafts.
  
 Bagore ki Haveli: Located on the Pichola waterfront, this old building had over hundred rooms and displays of costumes and modern art. The haveli interiors are done in glass and mirrors and the Queen's Chamber has walls done in exquisite Mewar Painting. The palace contains beautiful glasswork, the finest example of which can be found from the two peacocks created in coloured glass. Don't miss the traditional Rajasthani cultural performances that take place in the evenings against the backdrop of Lake Pichola. 
 Open from: 10.00 am - 7.00 pm
 Entry fee - Rs 15 
 Bharatiya Lok Kala Mandal: This museum of folk arts offers interesting puppet shows done in true Rajasthani culture. 
 Open from: 9.00 am - 6.00 pm</td>

 <td class="body-text" align="justify">There are several rooftop restaurants in Udaipur that offer standard Indian, Chinese and Continental fare. Ambrai Restaurant outside Chand Pol is an excellent open-air option on the banks of Lake Pichola. It specializes in Rajasthani cuisine, including mutton soweta, a dish that uses corn.

Particularly famous are the miniature paintings done on cloth, paper, stone and wood. Silver jewellery and bandhani fabrics sell like hot cakes! Pick up some papier-mâché, wooden and stone statues and hand made paper are other popular buys. Shops are located within the City Palace complex selling block-print cottons, souvenirs and gems.
 		 Shilpgram, located a little away from Udaipur is a traditional arts and crafts village. You can pick up some terracotta wares, mirror-work fabrics and miniature paintings. These are priced higher than normal rates, but they are definitely worth the money. </td>

 Visiting Udaipur during its festivities? We promise you a truly vibrant affair that's unforgettable. Celebrated in July, Teej is an important festival for all women there. Dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, all married women maintain fasts for their husbands and pray for their long life to the gods. An especially pretty picture is created by numerous swings that are decorated with flowers and hung from the trees. 
 Another wonderful festival is the Mewar Festival in March or April. Celebrated to mark the advent of the spring season, the city turn colourful as it gets adorned with colourful streamers. Women decorate the idols of Isar and Gangaur, while chanting devotional songs and finally load the idol into boats with a lot of fanfare before they are immersed with prayers and incantations. Sometimes the Mewar Festival coincides with the Gangaur Festival, which is an 18-day festival offered to Goddess Parvati, marked by processions and prayers offered by young women in search of a groom. During both these celebrations, Udaipur lights up joyous festivities and reverberates with cultural extravaganzas and folk performances. Many cultural programs and plays are organized and these festivals come to an end when the idols are immersed at Lake Pichola.
 Another annual fest that takes place here is the Shilpgram Crafts Fair. Literally meaning a 'Craftsmen's Village', this is a celebration of the great diversities in craft, art & culture between various Indian states. Get your hand on to some of the most exquisite terracotta work, especially available in dark red and dark brown sand material. Also available are typical Rajasthani woodwork and mirrored artwork. Of course, some of the articles would be priced on the higher end, but really, it's worth a few extra pennies! </td>

The city owes its origin to an interesting legend which goes as this. The founder of this city, Maharana Udai Singh, after whom the city is named, while hunting, met a holy ascetic meditating on a hill overlooking Lake Pichola. The hermit after blessing the Maharana, advised him to build his palace at this beautiful location with god climate, complete with a fertile valley and watered by the stream, a lake and bounded by low mountains. This was heeded by the Maharana, who thus laid the foundation of this city in 1559 A.D.</td>
