UDAIPUR - Destination Overview |
 Udaipur
is in the central part of the fascinating region of
Mewar. The kingdom of Mewar, with which many legends
of bravery are associated, was considered the most respectable
of all Rajput princely states in Rajasthan. Claiming
descent from the sun (Suryavansha), the Sisodia dynasty
that ruled Mewar for 1200 years is one of the oldest
dynasties in the world. With a lineage of 67 generations
behind, this clan fought for its respect and freedom.
Like other Rajput kingdoms of the time, it never married
off its daughters to the Mughals. A part of this lineage
were Rana Sanga and Rana Pratap, great warriors who
fought to defend their kingdom from invaders.
The capital of the Sisodia dynasty was Chittor till
the 6th century, when it was moved to Udaipur, named
after Maharana Udai Singh. According to legend, the
Maharana was out hunting one day when 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 well protected.
The Maharana followed his advice and Udaipur came into
being. Today, Udaipur is a one of the better-known tourist
destinations of India and an integral part of any itinerary
for Rajasthan. |
