Udaipur is
located around the gleaming clear blue water lakes, which
whisper the mood of a bygone era. The city was founded in
1567 AD by Maharana Udai Singh on the advice of a sage.
Udaipur was last of the several Mewar capitals. It was
in Udaipur that legendary Maharana Pratap was born. He was
obsessed with Chittaur and the past glory of the Sisodia
clan possessed his mind. Maharana Pratap left Udaipur to win
back Chittaur from the Mughals.
