Udaipur is a city in the north-western Indian state of Rajasthan, about 415 km (258 mi) south of the state capital Jaipur. It serves as the administrative headquarters of Udaipur district. It is the historic capital of the kingdom of Mewar in the former Rajputana Agency. It was founded in 1559 by Udai Singh II of the Sisodia clan of Rajputs, when he shifted his capital from the city of Chittorgarh to Udaipur after Chittorgarh was besieged by Akbar. It remained as the capital city till 1818 when Mewar became a British princely state, and thereafter the Mewar province became a part of Rajasthan when India gained independence in 1947. It is also known as the City of Lakes, as it is surrounded by five major artificial lakes.

Nestled in the heart of Rajasthan, Udaipur is a city of lakes, palaces, and rich cultural heritage. It is known as the "Venice of the East" due to the many water bodies that adorn the city. The most famous among them is the Lake Pichola, which offers stunning views of the Aravalli hills.

The city is home to some of the most majestic palaces, such as the City Palace, which showcases a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture. The palace is now converted into a museum that houses an exquisite collection of artifacts, textiles, and paintings.
