The city of lakes, sometimes known as the “Venice of the East,” Udaipur is surrounded by sparkling lakes and the verdant Aravalli Mountains. One of the most stunning attractions in Udaipur is the well-known Lake Palace, which is situated in the centre of Lake Pichola. Jaisamand Lake, allegedly the second-largest artificial sweet water lake in Asia, is also located there. The magnificent City Palace and Sajjangarh (Monsoon Palace) contribute to the city’s architectural splendour. The city is renowned for its abundance of marble and zinc. The only observatory in India that is situated on an island and was built after Big Bear is the solar observatory in Lake Fateh Sagar.
On the Moti Magri, which overlooks Fateh Sagar, is a striking bronze statue of Maharana Pratap riding his beloved horse Chetak. To honour Rana Pratap and his devoted horse, “Chetak,” who was passionately devoted to him and stood with him till his death, locals ascend the hill. This devoted horse gave its life to take his master away from the Haldighati battlefield to safety.
It is a magnificent architectural wonder made up of courtyards, pavilions, terraces, hallways, chambers, and hanging gardens that rises majestically above the lake on a hill enclosed by crenellated walls. The “Tripolia,” a triple-arched gate with eight marble porticos, serves as the principal entrance. Under the gate, the Maharanas were weighed in gold, and the equal weight was then divided among the inhabitants.

Originally known as Jagniwas and used as a summer castle, it is now a hotel. The palace, which faces east and was constructed on an island near Jagmandir in Lake Pichola between 1743 and 1746, is a magnificent sight to see. Semi-precious stones and ornate niches are added to the black and white marble walls. Its courtyards are lined with gardens, fountains, pillared terraces, and columns.
This 19th-century palace, which is located not far from Udaipur, was constructed on top of the Bansdara hills. It was once intended to be an astrological centre, but Maharana Sajjan Singh used it as a monsoon palace and hunting lodge instead. Maharana Sajjan Singh’s untimely passing ended the idea. It continues to be a magnificent sight on the skyline of Udaipur and provides breathtaking views of the city and its surroundings.

Lake Fatehsagar offers one of the most alluring qualities of water; the stillness of water reflects the tranquility of nature. The mesmerizing ripples, the crystal clear images give a quick peek into your soul. This soul-stirring effect of lakes makes it one of the best places to visit.
As it is said, nature is the biggest giver, but when it comes to lakes, the human-made wonders are also great. The offerings of these water bodies in the form of beauty, tranquility, and composure are unmatchable and fill everyone with contentment.
