Isn’t that what happens to you when you’re happy and proud beyond limits? And why not? 8th November recorded 11,258 visits! Pleasure beyond measure. Going pretty good since the beginning of the month, on the 8th, it rose to a number we couldn't resist sharing with you. As much as we are happy to do so, we’d like to personally thank all those visitors who have ever visited City Palace Museum, Udaipur and made the monument such a favourite that it has become over the years.
Over 4 centuries old, The City Palace is a prized possession of the House of Mewar that is the World’s oldest living and serving dynasty. Built in A.D. 1559 by Rana Udai Singh II, father of Maharana Pratap, the majestic palace stands on a low ridge called Rana Magri (Rana’s Hill) overlooking the fresh water lake, Pichola. One of the most well planned structures, the City Palace assumes a shape of one edifice from the exterior, with canopies, towers, domes, cupolas, bastions, beautifully carved balconies and ornamental turrets. The building is a unique depiction of the architectural and artistic evolution of Mewar through centuries. The City Palace Museum, Udaipur proudly safeguards and preserves the cultural heritage and the time honoured traditions of the people of Mewar, even today.
