Begun in the 16th century by Maharana Udai Singh II, the founder of Udaipur, and completed over the course of 300 years, City Palace is 30.4 metres high and has a façade that is 244 metres long. Fusing traditional Rajasthani and Mughal styles, City Palace has ornate glass and ceramic mosaics, elaborate gateways, courtyards, corridors and garden oases. City Palace is located across Lake Pichola, directly opposite The Oberoi Udaivilas.
Jagdish Temple was built in 1651 and dedicated to the Hindu Lord Vishnu. The temple has an awe-inspiring, 24 metres high pagoda adorned with sculptures of dancers, musicians, elephants and horsemen. It is the city's largest and most resplendent temple.
A visit to this celebrated landmark is highly recommended. Originally built in the late 18th Century by Maharana Sajjan to serve as an observatory, the Mahrana chose his perch well. From here you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the city and surrounding lakes, the rivers and wooded hillsides. Watching the sunset from here is especially rewarding.
One of the largest and most important temples in Jain culture, Ranakpur Jain Temple is a spectacular marble structure laden with myths and legends. It covers nearly 4,460 square metres (1.1 acres), includes eighty domes, twenty nine halls and is supported by more than 1,440 unique and intricately carved marble pillars, each said to be unique, with no two alike. Ranakpur also features a large, single marble rock which has been carved into over one thousand snakes, whose tails are said to be never ending.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site with walls second only in length to those of the Great Wall of China. Built in the 15th century by the Mewar Maharana Khumba and occupied until the 19th century, Kumbhalgarh Fort is the second largest fortification in India after Chittor Fort. It sits 1,100 metres above sea level in the Aravalli Ranges, with views as far as the Thar Desert and beyond. Its walls are over thirty five kilometres long and six metres at their thickest. There are over 360 Jain and Hindu temples within the fort, as well as palaces, and a tank of five kilometres in length and eighteen kilometres in depth. Folklore has it that the Maharana used to burn large flaming torches on the walls of the fort to shed light on the farmers who worked at night in the valleys below. Today, in honour of this tradition, every evening, the fort is totally illuminated for a few minutes in accordance with this tradition. Keep an eye out for the white painted outline of a lady; said to mark the spot where a flower seller was bricked up alive within the walls after being discovered leading enemies to the entrance of the fort with a petal trail.
