A view of City Palace complex across Lake Pichola in the city of Udaipur in the western Indian state of Rajasthan,India.In the foreground is the island of Jagmandir Palace.
The City palace complex ,which served as the headquarters of the Kingdom of Mewar,is situated on the east bank of Lake Pichola.It contains several palaces and is one of the largest palace complexes in India.
The Kingdom of Mewar was initially ruled from its capital in the hilltop fortress of Chittor for about 800 years.When Maharana Udai Singh inherited the kingdom in 1537, there were signs of losing control over Chittor because of the wars with the Mughals.Udai Singh therefore decided to shift his capital to a relatively protected site surrounded by the Aravalli mountains,forests and lakes.He had chosen this site on the advice of a hermit he had met during one of his hunting expeditions.
The establishment of the city of Udaipur and the construction of the City Palace commenced concurrently in 1553.The palace complex was built over a period of 400 years by Maharana Udai Singh and his successors,each ruler adding something new.The Maharanas lived and administered their kingdom from this palace, thereby making it an important historical landmark.
Today,a part of the palace is occupied by the descendants of the Sisodia Rajput kings of Mewar while some parts are open to the public.There are also a few luxury hotels,museums,restaurants, shops etc. inside the complex.
Jagmandir palace :- This is a small palace built on an island on Lake Pichola.Its construction is credited to three Maharanas of the Sisodia Rajputs of the Mewar Kingdom.Its construction was started by Maharana Amar Singh in 1551, continued by Maharana Karan Singh (1620-28) and completed by Jagat Singh (1628-52).The royal family used the palace as a summer resort and a pleasure palace for holding parties.
Might be worth a look in large.

Udaipur se localiza al pie de los montes Aravalli y se encuentra al sur de Rajastán, cerca de la frontera con los estados de Guyarat y Madhya Pradesh. La ciudad es conocida como la ciudad de los lagos debido a que existen varios lagos alrededor de la ciudad entre los que destacan el lago Pichola, el Fateh Sagar, el Udai Sagar y el Swarup Sagar. El lago Pichola es el mayor de éstos y se localiza en el corazón de la ciudad. Fue construido por Pichhu Banjara durante el reinado de Maharana Lakha hacia 1362.
