History of Udaipur |
|
Udaipur was the jewel of Mewar kingdom
ruled by Sisodia Dynasty for about 1200 years. The city of Udaipur was
founded by Maharana Udai Singh. This city has an interesting legend
associated with it. Maharana Udai Singh was out for hunting as he met
a holy man meditating on a hill overlooking the lake Pichola.
The hermit blessed the Maharana and told him to built a palace at that
very spot as it would be protected. The Maharana followed his advise
and Udaipur came into being. Overlooking the aquamarine waters of the
lake Pichola stands the shimmering granite and marble Lake Palace.
This palace has a harmonious blend of courtyards, pavilions, terraces,
corridors, rooms and hanging gardens. It was in Udaipur only that the
legendary Maharana Pratap was born. He was obsessed with Chittorgarh
and the past glories of the Sisodia clan possessed his mind. Maharana
Pratap left Udaipur to win back Chittorgarh from the Mughals. But he
failed in his attempts and Udaipur remained the capital of Mewar till
India got her independence. |
