Udaipur also known as the City of Lakes, is a
city, a Municipal Corporation and the
administrative headquarters of the
Udaipur district in the state of Rajasthan in
western India. It is located 403 kilometres

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

Singh II as the final capital of the erstwhile Mewar
kingdom, located to the southwest of Nagda, on the
Banas River, the first capital of the Mewar kingdom.

a hermit while hunting in the foothills of the
Aravalli Range. The hermit blessed the king and
asked him to build a palace on the spot, assuring him
it would be well protected. Udai Singh II consequently
established a residence on the site. In 1568, the
Mughal emperor Akbar captured the The Red fort of
Chittor, and udai Singh moved the capital to the site of
his residence, which became the city of Udaipur.

day or night; inside the home or outside, not
on earth or in the sky; neither by a man nor
an animal; neither by astra nor by shastra".

worshipping gods and start praising
respectfully to him.
