City Palace of Udaipur
Welcome to the biggest royal complex of Rajasthan and the most important tourist attraction of the town. The magnificent City Palace served as the royal residence of 22 generations of the Udaipur Royal Family for more than 400 years. The immense palace complex houses a very well managed and irresistible Museum, Heritage hotels, restaurants, a school and shopping arcades. The City Palace Museum galleries are filled with priceless regal memorabilia. They house one of the best maintained collection of paintings of India, the textile collection of the regal era, the royal palanquins with ivory work, glass inlay and mirror work, and the armoury gallery which speaks of the war-like lifestyle of the Maharajas. Not to be missed here is the Silver Gallery, one of the biggest royal collection of silver articles in the world!! The star amongst these is the silver buggy or horse-carriage from Bikaner, gifted to Udaipur family in 1940. Visiting the Palace Complex is like traveling back in time.
Jagdish Temple
A short walk from the City Palace will take you to the Jagdish Temple, the most beautiful example of Hindu Iconography. With a steeple nearly 79 feet high, it is the largest and the most important temple of Udaipur. Built in 1651 at the cost of 1.5 million rupees ( or $22000) it is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, the God of preservation in the Hindu belief. Jagdish temple is one of the best architectural wonders of Udaipur. The three-storied temple is built on raised platform flaunting magnificently carved pillars, huge airy halls and painted walls that are adorned with vibrant colors and intricately decorated ceilings. You'll be able to see people chanting and celebrating the prayers live and feel immersed in its unique spiritual ambience.
Jagmandir
Jagmandir is an exquisite palace that looks like a floating marble structure in a lake and is a sight to behold as one visits the alluring Lake Pichola. It was constructed by three successive Maharajas of Udaipur in the 16th and 17th century and the royal family used the palace as their summer resort and pleasure palace for holding private royal gatherings. It is also the very place where the famous 1983 James Bond movie, Octopussy, was shot. The palace continues to witness few of the most luxurious destination weddings of the Indian Subcontinent. It has a beautiful flower garden, courtyards, fountains and water pools, and a well maintained restaurant. It is accessible only through a nice boat ride which stops at this island from where the travellers can get mesmerizing and incomparable views and photos of the City Palace Complex, the Lake Palace Hotel and the surrounding vintage buildings, rooftop restaurants and Heritage hotels and mansions.
