City Palace Tour Udaipur
The City Palace Complex
Built on the banks of Lake Pichola. The foundations of the
City Palace Complex, Udaipur was laid by Maharana Udai Singhji,
Rajasthan. The City Palace Complex is essentially a
fortified city with massive walls enclosing a mini township
within its folds. There are several gigantic gateways that
lead to the City Palace Complex. The Hati Pol was the most
significant as royal personages always passed through this
entrance. Among the other gateways the Bara Pol and Tripolia
Pol were significant in the olden days.
A fascinating mosaic of stone courtyards, marble pavilions,
royal palaces, shrines and other heritage structures form the
mini township within the City Palace walls. Discover the
exotic Mor Chowk and tour Sheesh Mahal, Dilkhush Mahal,
Krishna Mahal, Bada Mahal, Laxmi Vilas Chowk and the Moti
Mahal while on City Palace Udaipur tours. The City Palace
Museum displays a whopping variety of regal treasure, relics
from the Mewar royal household and some of the most
spectacular examples of miniature paintings.

the Raj Aangan that was constructed by Maharana Udai Singhji.
