Palace On Wheels
Udaipur - City Palace on the shores of Lake Pichola.
The palace was started by Maharaja Udai Singh of the
Sisodia Rajput clan and extended to its present form by subsequent Maharanas.
Built in granite and marble and surrounded by crenellated fort walls, it is the
largest palace complex in Rajasthan. Near the entrance, at the Elephant Gate
or 'Hati Pol', rulers were once
weighed against gold or silver and the equivalent value
was distributed among the poor. |
