OFFBEAT UDAIPUR

One of the architectural wonders of Rajasthan, City Palace in Udaipur is the largest palace complex of the state. The most popular sightseeing place in Udaipur, City Palace stands magnificently on the eastern banks of Lake Pichola. Flanked by the Aravali mountain range, City Palace is worth admiring for its natural settings that offer a breathtaking view of the surroundings.

Located just on the outskirts of the city of Udaipur, perched atop a hill, Sajjangarh Palace is a former royal residence belonging to the Mewar dynasty, who ruled over this place for centuries. The palatial complex is named after its patron, Maharana Sajjan Singh, who ordered its construction and had it erected in 1884. It was originally intended to be a nine-storeyed astronomical observatory to note and assess the arrival and patterns of monsoon clouds, which could be easily perceived from the palace because of its location at a strategic vantage point at one of the hilltops of Aravalli, called Bansdara Peak. For this reason, it has also earned the name Monsoon Palace.

You can find several temples of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. The Eklingji temple is one of the most prestigious temples of Lord Shiva. Similarly, Jagdish temple is one of the largest temples of Lord Vishnu. It is one of the most popular places to visit in Udaipur. Jagdish temple was earlier known as the temple of Jagannath Rai, one of 1000 names of God Vishnu. The temple has become a significant monument in the past few decades due to its unique location, beauty, and history associated with it.
