About Udaipur
Udaipur was founded in 1559 by Maharana Udai Singh II as the final capital of the eastwhile Mewar kingdom,
located to the southwest of Nagda, on the Banas River,
the first capital of the Mewar kingdom. Legend has it that Maharana Udai Singh II came upon a hermit while hunting in the foothills of the Aravalli Range.
The hermit blessed the king and asked him to build a palace on the spot, assuring him it would be well protected.
Udai Singh II consequently established a residence on the site. In 1568 the Mughal emperor Akbar captured the fort of Chittor,
and Udai Singh moved the capital to the site of his residence, which became the city of Udaipur.
Udaipur city is also referred to as the "Most Romantic City of India" and the "Kashmir of Rajasthan".
