City Palace - Take a fantasy trip in this fairytale palace built over four centuries by 22 maharaj's to impress their subjects and consorts. Situated on the shore of Lake Pichola, this series of buildings with sections dating back to the 1500's is beautifully decorated with graceful turrets and Romeo and Huliet balconies. On site is the City Palace Museum, its courtyard decorated with elephant and horses which are reflected magnificently in glass and mirrors, an impressive introduction to the treasures within.
Chittorgarh - Well worth the trip of 72 miles north east of Udaipur, is the fort of Chittorgarh. Perched along a massive cliffside this fortress dates back to the 12th century and epitomises the era of grandeur and royalty that were India at that time. Huge gates and mighty towers built to guard the Rana Khumba palace within the walls still stand. An Indian Helen of Troy legend was born here, telling the tale of the beautiful Rani Padmini and 13 000 attendants who faced death by fire rather than capture by the enemy.
Jagdish Mandir - Come and pay attendance at the foot of the enormous black Vishnu shrine in this 17th century Hindu temple. The Indian gods and animals are definately larger than life. |

Rajasthani cuisine is strongly influenced by Jainism and Vaishnavism, which are against the slaughter of animals. Hence their diet of chiefly vegetarian dishes. Lentils and vegetables unique to this desert area are popular and are seasoned with a wonderful variety of spices. Lentil curries and purees, yoghurt soups and dips with deepfried breads and chilli fritters are favourite fare.
Meat does feature in the flavourfull chilli mutton curries. Ocra, dried mango and sangri beans accompany many meals. |
