The desert state of western India

Rajasthan is a desert state in western India. It is also the most colorful state with Indian style. It has four 😍color cities👇 White City Udaipur Blue City Jodhpur Pink City Jaipur Golden City Jaisalmer Today, I will introduce you to the white city Udaipur This is a romantic city suitable for slow life. It has magnificent palaces, colorful murals on white walls, and various buildings. You will definitely be dazzled Must-check-in recommendation: 1⃣ City Palace, here is a little story: Hundreds of years ago, the then Udai Singh Maharaja wisely moved the capital from Chittaurgarh to here. In order to avoid war, he built an artificial lake to solve the water problem. Until now, the maharaja of Udaipur still lives here. There is a small hill southeast of the City Palace. You can climb to the top of the hill to watch the sunset and have dinner at the restaurant on the top of the hill, overlooking the night view of the White City. On one side is the magnificent City Palace, and on the other side is the old town with thousands of lights. It is really great. 2⃣ Hafeili Museum is a palace-style building built in the 18th century, located on the east side of Lake Pichola. In this museum with more than 100 rooms and rooftops, you can get a glimpse into the lives of ancient emperors through many buildings. There will also be very charming folk dances and puppet shows in the evening, recommended 👍 3⃣ The Lake Palace was originally built by King Maharana Karan Singh in 1620. After India's independence, the declining royal family, forced to make a living due to the loss of land, converted the former lake palace into the Taj Lake Palace and opened it to the public. The Lake Palace is world-renowned as a cultural heritage and ultra-luxury hotel, and also allows tourists from all over the world to have the opportunity to experience the luxurious life of India's Rajput royal family. 👍👍From Mrs. Kennedy to Madonna, countless celebrities from around the world have come here to enjoy the authentic and luxurious life of the ancient Indian royal family. In 1984, this ancient royal city was chosen as the main filming location for the James Bond film Octopussy 4. Monsoon Palace: Before the Indian government took over Udaipur, this was the favorite residence of the Mewar royal family during the monsoon season. The palace was built by Maharaja Sajjan Singh and was originally used as an observatory. Visiting the Monsoon Palace before sunset to overlook the city of Udaipur has always been considered a classic sightseeing activity. This place was also used as a filming scene in the 007 film "Octopussy". 5. Lake Pichola: Rafting on Lake Pichola is a good choice to enjoy a peaceful time.
