Udaipur- Jagdish Temple and Bagore ki haveli

Jagdish temple is more than 500 years old. The construction was completed in 1651 and situated in middle of the town. It very near from the exit gate of city palace and in between there is a very old souvenir market. The temple is very beautiful with carvings on all the walls and one can only imagine that how precisely they have done it in that era with few equipment. The main attraction of bagore ki haveli is the entire cycle of Rajputana marriage through idols and a room full of puppets. Here is my photo journal on Jagdish Temple and Bagore ki haveli.

Udaipur- City Palace






Udaipur is located in the southwest of Nagda which was the capital of Mewar. It was founded by Maharana Udai Singh of the Sisodia clan in 1553. Before Udaipur Chittorgarh was the capital of Mewar kingdom.

City Palace, overlooking Lake Pichola, is a monumental complex of 11 palaces, courtyards and gardens, famed for its intricate peacock mosaics. The establishment is almost 400 years Old; the construction was started by Maharana Udai II Singh in 1553, he is also the founder of this city. Several rulers of Mewar dynasty contributed in the construction. The architecture is a combination of Hindu and Mughal dynasty. The location is situated on a hill top on the east cost of Lake Pichola. 

We had a wonderful time staying in Hotel Le Roi which is just outside the railway station. It is advisable to book a flight. We had booked our rail ticket almost 3 months back with a waiting of 12 but unfortunately our tickets were not conformed. It was a miracle that 2 passengers missed there Train and the TT was kind enough to offer us their seats



Our Room in the Hotel Le Roi







Almost 80% of the compound is now a museum and photography is strictly probated. The ticket of the palace is very normal but we have paid Rs.500 for the museum which I felt is very expensive. I have tried to capture whatever I could with limited access of camera.
