Sightseeing
A
visit to the 11th Century Hindu Jagat Temple,also known as the Mini
Khajuraho of Rajasthan is highly recommended.The Sita mata centre is also a
major attraction. Day excursions to Chittorgarh or to the city of Udaipur
can be arranged both cities have a great historical significance in Indian
history and are worth a visit.
The lake here was artificially created in the 14th century, two hundred
years before the city was founded by the Maharanas of Chittorgarh as the
capital of the indomitable Mewar. A bastion wall encircles it. There were
five gates armed withiron spikes and the largest palace in Rajasthan, the
City Palace, stands on the ridge, overlooking the steel blue waters of the
Lake Pichola.
If the City Palace is imperial with its multicoloured mosaics, mirror work
inlaid tiles and roof gardens on the lake are no less than sumptuous.
Courts, fountains, apartments and gardens embellish them and decorated with
arabesques of coloured stones, they are startling pleasure palaces, a rich
experience that can now be captured as they have been converted into modern
resorts.
Jag Niwas, the Lake Palace, is the most prominent of these and rivals one
of the most luxurious apartments in the world. Laxmi Niwas and Shiv Niwas
are smaller palaces, but exquisite in detail and idyllically located.
