Crowning the ridge, in which the city clusters, the massive palace of the Maharana
The City of Udaipur or the City of Sunrise
combines real beauty with a picturesque association of a great and glorious past.
The legendary Ranas or Kings of this state traced their ancestry back to the sun!
WED UDAIPUR FEBRUARY 1-4, 2014
It stands in a valley, amidst green hills on the banks of the wide, steel blue lake Pichola
and is regarded as the most romantic spot in India.
On little islands in the lake, from the waters edge, rise marble palaces of pure white that glisten like fairy castles.
