This royal city of Udaipur has been the capital of the Mewar rulers for many centuries. Once, Maharana Udai Singh happened to meet a holy sage when he was on his hunting expedition in the Aravalli Hills. On his hunting journey the king planned to discover a kingdom in this fertile valley and he also thought that it will be protected by elevated Aravalli Hills as well. Latterly, Maharana Udai Singh laid the foundation stone of Udaipur in 1557 A.D. The city of Udaipur was naturally safe under the barricade made by Aravalli Hills.
Soon, Udaipur developed into a full-fledged city. Slowly when the Mughal Empire undermined, the Sisodias reasserted their freedom. They have recaptured most of the parts of Mewar with the exception of the Chittorgarh Fort. Udaipur used to be the capital of Mewar, until it became the princely state of British India in the year 1818. Later this place was granted to the Government of India after India got independence in 1947, by the Maharaja of Udaipur. At point of the time, Mewar was merged into the state of Rajasthan.
Now a days Udaipur is at a commending position on the maps of the Rajasthan. The city of Udaipur is known for its photographic surroundings and its honorable past. Ancient monuments, huge palaces, architectural temples and auwsum lakes enthrall people to visit this royal land.
