Images of City Palace, Udaipur

Perched regally on the eastern banks of the serene Lake Pichola, the City Palace, Udaipur is a spectacular monument that stands as a living testament to the grandeur, valor, and artistic excellence of the Mewar dynasty. Begun in 1559 by Maharana Udai Singh II, this colossal complex was continuously expanded over nearly 400 years by successive rulers resulting in a harmonious and breathtaking fusion of Rajasthani, Mughal, and European architectural styles. Its colossal granite and marble structure replete with ornate balconies, towering facades, and historic courtyards offers visitors an unparalleled journey into the opulence and strategic brilliance of a royal history that resisted Mughal supremacy and endured for centuries.
