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.

Photography’s new conscience
Two lovers embrace down by the water in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India. My first visit to the City of Lakes in Rajasthan, and currently loving it. The mist burnt off by mid morning with some welcome sunshine for the rest of the day.
This shot was taken from the shore of Lake Pichola at the Trident Hotel. Udaipur, India, also known as the City of Lakes, is surrounded by seven man-made lakes, five major and two minor. Located in a mountainous area of Rajasthan state, the lakes were built as flood control during the monsoon rains. The city has never flooded; as one lake fills, it overflows into the next lower lake.
