Starting
with the lakes; who says " Rajasthan is a desert place" ...when it has a city like Udaipur !!
The
beautiful and enchanting lakes here are amazing …..They are inexplicable!... Lake Pichola, Fateh Sagar Lake, Jaisamand lake, Udaisagar Lake, Rajasmand lake
are some of the popular lakes among which I visited three....Since ages,
these lakes have been providing water to the city dwellers.
Lake Pichola is a 4 km long man-made
lake and it is not just an ordinary lake….. it is one of the
most beautiful ones I have ever seen!!……..No wonder that boating in
Lake Pichola is one of the must do thing. “I literally felt like breathing
in the air filled with blend of serenity, beauty and thrill”
What to
say about Fateh Sagar Lake, Blue waters of this lake and the backdrop of green has given the soubriquet of
the second Kashmir to the city…. The night view of this lake is amazing!! …… All
lakes are interconnected in such a way that if water flows in one lake
after filling automatically water is transferred to the other and the fountains there work on the pressure of the lake .
I got a
telescope there via which I managed to get a wonderful view of the lake and the surrounding city. The
beauty of the city palace and lake palace leave me awestruck!!........The
architecture is "exquisite..." It indeed adds to the exoticism of Udaipur!!
Saheliyon
Ki Bari which I imagined would be a place where some beautiful apsaras might sing
a welcome song to us :P :P , but
actually it was a garden, embellished with numerous fountains in its four
water pools,chiseled kiosks and marble elephants!!...
Then,
finally came the turn to visit Shipgram which is abounding with artisians &
performers . An ideal destination of Udaipur
to try out their handicrafts in the form of clothes, accessories, interior
decoration stuff, etc.
At the end of the trip, covered Karni Mata mandir which is known to be the Rat temple of Rajasthan. These rats never leave the temple even though they are free to do so. I say, why leave when you are given a steady stream of tasty milk and treats.
