The Lake Palace at
Udaipur !
The founder of Udaipur,
Maharana Udai Singh, was overcome by the misfortunes that his old capital of Chittaurgarh
had to face due to repeated attacks by the Mughal armies. On the advice of a holy man,
Udai Singh shifted his capital to the banks of Lake Pichola- the city was named Udaipur
after him.
