Udaipur was the historic capital of the former kingdom of Mewar in Rajputana Agency. Apart from its history, culture, and scenic locations, it is also known for its Rajput-era palaces. The Lake Palace, for instance, covers an entire island in the Pichola Lake. Many of the palaces have been converted into luxury hotels. It is often called the "Venice of the East" and is also nicknamed the "Lake City". Lake Pichola, Fateh Sagar Lake, Udai Sagar and Swaroop Sagar in this city are considered some of the most beautiful lakes in the state.
It was wonderful to walk in its streets and meet some very nice people there.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful street and people pix, and very well composed too. I've been to India only once, only the south via Chennai. But i only got the chance to walk the streets at night, so not much nice photos.

ReplyDeleteNick,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you had been to India.
Udaipur is a lovely city, and I liked it a lot.
You might have noticed that India is diverse. We in south India, feel north India is exotic:-)
What better country to capture awesome street scenes like these?! Love them all. Great post!
