TRAVEL THE WORLD - UDAIPUR, RAJASTHAN, INDIA
Udaipur is a beautiful city in Rajasthan on the man-made Lake Pichola, pictured above. The palace was built in 1743 by the Rajput Maharana Jagat Singh. Today, it is a luxury hotel.
The Rajputs, prior to India gaining its independence from Britain, were rulers of states within what is now Rajasthan. These states joined newly- independent India, though they had not been part of the British Raj.
