Isn’t Udaipur all about just lakes and nothing else? Why should one even think of visiting this small city of Rajasthan when you can totally go to some other place. While everyone is busy praising the so-called ‘City of lakes’ Udaipur, we’ve jotted down a list of reasons why you shouldn’t visit Udaipur.
Amazing traditional clothing, jewelry, and handicrafts will burn a hole in your pocket

If you are a shopaholic then visiting Udaipur is a big threat to you. Beautiful traditional clothes with pretty work and decorations, silver, gold and black metal jewelry for both men and women, mind-blowing handicrafts on clothing, décor pieces, and other items will burn a hole in your pockets. So, in Udaipur, you might spend your entire month’s salary and since we don’t want you to regret your shopaholic instinct, it is advisable to not visit Udaipur.
Delicious Dal Bati and regional cuisine will increase your calories
Picture by: Datemyplate
The famous Rajasthani food Dal Bati and all other regional cuisines are so delicious that you cannot stop at just tasting. So you have to prepare your stomach to get entirely filled and then your mind to satisfy itself with just that. Since we don’t want you to spend an extra hour at gym burning the calories gained from the heavenly delicious Dal Bati, you shouldn’t visit Udaipur.
The culture and festivals of Udaipur will leave you spellbound
Udaipur has a brimful of cultures and to celebrate the vastness of these cultures, there are different festivals taking place at every time of the year. From dance, music performance, and regional activities in Shilpgram to festivities and joy on everyone’s faces in Hariyali Amavasya fair, the variety of culture showcase will leave you spellbound. The moment when you are present at such occasions you will feel like you belong here.
Now, who would want to enjoy the colorful and joyful atmosphere of these festivals from their busy and hectic schedule right?
The utterly romantic destinations will make you fall in love

If you are already in love with someone, these utterly romantic destinations in Udaipur will just act as a catalyst to your love. You will feel like celebrating each and every moment of love with your loved ones. From waking up at sunrise in forts and palaces to boating in Lake Pichola at sunset, you will feel nothing less than a king or a queen. It would feel like even nature is a part of this celebration and it would witness every blissful moment you are having.
And if you’re not in love with someone, then better do not enter this magical environment or you’ll fall in love.
Royal palaces and forts will make you look back to history
picture by: Shivam photofactory
Most of us literally hated history when they were just some pages in the textbooks of our school but when it comes to the history of Udaipur it will not just teach you some really interesting things but will take you to the time of past. By looking at the walls and structure of these amazing forts and palaces you will actually live the time period that was lived by the kings and queens back then. The royalty of Udaipur is nothing less than the other assets of it, so if you do not want to experience the royalty of the city, you shouldn’t visit Udaipur.
Once you visit Udaipur, it will invite you repeatedly
Picture by: Vineet_19850
Udaipur is such a place that you can never get enough of. Apart from the fact that the number of places that Udaipur has, cannot be enjoyed on a single visit, there’s just something in its walls, its sculptures, its people, its street and basically everything that will invite you again and again to the city. So you just can’t quit coming and staying in Udaipur at just once, you will have to keep coming for a number of times to satisfy your soul. And if you are just not ready for that, you better not visit it.
The beauty of lakes and landscapes will hypnotize you
picture by: Gajendra Kumawat
Udaipur which is also known as ‘city of lakes’ is a place full of natural and artificial lakes. Along with the lakes comes its blissful surroundings and eye-pleasing landscapes. Lakes like Badi, Fatehsagar, Pichola will give you a sight that you wouldn’t be able to forget for your entire life. It will make you forget all the worries of your life and you will feel like this is the only place where you truly want to be. When you sit at the edge of a lake, you will be so hypnotized by the beauty around it that you won’t be able to leave the place.
But not everyone wants to get hypnotized by nature, isn’t it?
Fatehsagar – the heart of the city
Picture by: Anusha Bhardwaj
It is literally the heart of the city. If you look for Fatehsagar in google maps, you’ll see that the lake is heart shaped. It is not just a place, it’s a feeling for every Udaipurite. It’s a feeling of peace and calm. It’s a feeling of relaxation when after a long day you sit on the pal of the lake and the winds just take away all your tiredness. It’s a feeling when school and college kids hang out with their friends every evening giving the place its youthfulness. It a feeling of togetherness when you find people of different color, caste, city, country, and age that no matter what there’s this place that binds everyone together.
So in case you’re not ready to feel all of that, Fatehsagar or even Udaipur is not the place to have a visit to.
Above all these reasons, Udaipur is a city of love and compassion. It’s a city which makes everyone fall in love with itself. You will often hear people saying that ‘there’s no other city such as Udaipur’ and that is quite true, I tell you. Love it or hate it but you just won’t be able to forget the city.

ऐन्द्रिता रे, कन्नड़ फिल्म इंडस्ट्री की सुपरस्टार, अब जल्द ही बॉलीवुड में एंट्री लेने जा रही है। आपको यह जानकर आश्चर्य भी होगा और ख़ुशी भी कि ऐन्द्रिता रे का जन्म उदयपुर में हुआ है। ऐन्द्रिता, कन्नड़ फिल्म ‘मनासारे’ में निभाए अपने दमदार करैक्टर ‘देविका’ के लिए जानी जाती है। इस फिल्म को क्रिटिक्स ने काफ़ी पसंद किया था, उन्होंने इसके लिए 4 अवार्ड्स भी जीते। 5 बार की फिल्मफेयर अवार्ड नॉमिनेटेड एक्ट्रेस के उदयपुर से कन्नड़ फिल्म इंडस्ट्री होते हुए बॉलीवुड तक के सफ़र पर एक नज़र।
शुरूआती जीवन और बैकग्राउंड:
ऐन्द्रिता का जन्म उदयपुर के एक बंगाली परिवार में हुआ। इनका शुरूआती बचपन उदयपुर की झीलों और पहाड़ियों को देखते हुए निकला। पिता ऐ.के. रे के इंडियन एयर फाॅर्स में प्रोस्थोदोंटिस्ट (डेंटल प्रोस्थेटिक्स) के पद पर होने की वजह से उन्हें मुंबई शिफ्ट होना पड़ा। इंडियन एयर फाॅर्स में होने के कारण अक्सर तबादले होने की वजह से अलग-अलग शहरों में रहना पड़ा। आख़िर में पूरा परिवार बैंगलोर आकर रहने लग गया।
डेब्यू और ब्रेकथ्रू:
ऐन्द्रिता रे फैशन कोरियोग्राफर एम्.एस. श्रीधर की स्टूडेंट रही है। सबसे पहले उन्हें कन्नड़ फिल्म ‘जैकपोट’ के एक गाने में देखा गया। जबकि एक्टिंग करियर 2008 में आई ‘मेरावैंगे’ से शुरू हुआ। फिल्म तो ज्यादा कुछ कमाल नहीं कर पाई लेकिन ऐन्द्रिता की एक्टिंग और डांसिंग क्राफ्ट को rediff.com जैसी वेबसाइट ने काफी सराहा। उसी साल एक और कन्नड़ फिल्म में इनका केमियो भी था।
शरुआती सफलता और उसके बाद की कहानी:
ऐन्द्रिता की 2009 में एक और फिल्म आई नाम था ‘वायुपुत्र’ जिसमें इनके अपोजिट थे चिरंजीवी सर्जा। इसके बाद इनकी एक और सफल मूवी परदे पर आई ‘लव गुरु’। लेकिन 2009 में आई ‘मनासारे’ ने ऐन्द्रिता के जीवन को पलट कर रख दिया। इस फिल्म ने ऐन्द्रिता को रातों-रात कन्नड़ फिल्म इंडस्ट्री का स्टार बना दिया। न सिर्फ कन्नड़ फिल्मों यहाँ तक की ‘मनासारे’ की सफलता की गूँज ‘फिल्मफेयर अवार्ड्स’ तक भी गई और ऐन्द्रिता बेस्ट एक्ट्रेस की केटेगरी में नोमिनेट हुई। इसके बाद तो ऐन्द्रिता के आगे ढेर सारी फिल्मों की लाइन लग गई। 2010 में आई एक और फिल्म ‘वीरा परम्परे’ भी बॉक्स ऑफिस पर कामयाब हुई और एक बार फिर ऐन्द्रिता ‘फिल्मफेयर अवार्ड फॉर बेस्ट एक्ट्रेस’ के लिए नोमिनेट हुई। इसी साल इनकी एक पैरेलल बॉलीवुड फिल्म भी आई जिसका नाम ‘अ फ्लैट’ था। लेकिन ये इनका बॉलीवुड डेब्यू नहीं था।
करियर के शुरुआती दौर में मिली ग्रैंड सफलता की चमक अगले दो साल में फीकी पड़ती नज़र आई। लगातार 3-4 फिल्मों के फ्लॉप हो जाने के कारण इसका असर उनके करियर पर भी दिखने लगा। इस वजह से उन्हें तेलुगु सिनेमा और बंगाली सिनेमा की ओर रुख़ करना पड़ा। हालाँकि इन दोनों जगह किया इनका ये काम सराहा गया और एक बार फिर ये कन्नड़ फिल्मों में लौट आई।
2018 इनके लिए ख़ास साबित होने जा रहा है। बंगाली सिनेमा के मशहूर डायरेक्टर राज चंदा की फिल्म में नज़र आएंगी और साथ ही साथ ये अपना बॉलीवुड डेब्यू भी कर रही है। इस फिल्म में अरबाज़ खान इनके अपोजिट होंगे जिसकी शूटिंग स्विट्जरलैंड में शुरू हो चुकी है। हम सभी उम्मीद करते है कि उनकी ये फिल्म बॉक्स ऑफिस पर अच्छा करें और उदयपुर का नाम रोशन हो।
10 साल के अपने छोटे से करियर में पांच बार फिल्मफेयर जैसे अवार्ड्स के लिए नोमिनेट होना उनके अपने काम के प्रति लगन को दर्शाता है। ऐन्द्रिता रे का उदयपुर से होना शायद बहुत कम ही लोग जानते होंगे। इसलिए हमारी कोशिश थी कि ऐसे लोगों में ऐन्द्रिता को शामिल किया जाए जिन्हें शहर के लोग कम और देश-विदेश के लोग ज्यादा जानते है। ये हमारे शहर के लिए गर्व की बात है।
यह उदयपुर का सबसे प्राचीन एवं प्रमुख गुफा मंदिर है, आध्यात्म की दृष्टि से भी इसका प्रमुख स्थान है, इसे “उदयपुर का अमरनाथ” भी कहा जाता है। यह प्राचीन गुफा उदयपुर के बिलिया गाँव में ओड़ा पर्वत के शिखर पर स्थित है, जो की तितरडी गाँव के पास है| यहाँ भगवान शिव का प्राचीन मंदिर है, ऊपर पहाड़ पर यह मंदिर बड़े ही विस्तृत क्षेत्र में फैला हुआ है, इस गुफा की एक खासियत यह भी हें की इस तक चढ़ाई का रास्ता टेढ़ा-मेढ़ा हैं जो की आगन्तुको को अति आनंदित करता है।
यह एक गहरी गुफा है जिसके दुसरे छोर पर शिवलिंग हें, इस गुफा में प्रवेश करते समय हमें हजारों चमकादड़े गुफा की दीवारों पर उल्टी लटकती हुई दिख जाती हैं, साथ ही पत्थर के प्राकृतिक सर्प भी दीवारों पर दिख जाते हैं। इस मंदिर से अक्सर अखंड मंत्रोचार की आवाज़े आती रहती हैं कुछ विशेष अवसरों पर पूरा पहाड़ सुन्दरकाण्ड, भजनों व मंत्रो से गुंजायमान रहता हैं। हर माह यहाँ 48 घंटो का अनवरत जाप होता है।
इस गुफा का भ्रमण करने से एक विशिष्ट आध्यात्मिक आनंद का अनुभव होता है तथा यहाँ के सम्पूर्ण मंदिर परिसर में छाई शांति हमें खुद में एक उर्जा का अनुभव करवाती हैं। इस गुफा के अंदर एक और छोटी गुफा है जो की एक रहस्यमयी गुफा है, यह दूसरी गुफा इतनी बड़ी और लम्बी है की इसके दुसरे छोर पर आज तक कोई नहीं पहुच सका हैं, बड़े बुजुर्ग कहते हें की यह दूसरी गुफा काशी तक जाती हैं।
इस मंदिर का एक आश्चर्यजनक प्रभाव यह है की जब हम पहाड़ की चढाई से थककर गुफा में पहुचते हैं तो गुफा में कुछ ही क्षण बिताने पर हम फिर से खुद को उर्जावान महसूस करते हैं। यहाँ शांत वातावरण, शुद्ध एवं ठंडी हवा के झोके हमें चिंता मुक्त कर देते हैं, साथ ही सारी मानसिक थकान भी दूर हो जाती हैं। यहाँ पहाड़ से देखने पर पूरा उदयपुर दिखाई देता हैं, यहाँ एक सुन्दर बगीचा और एक भव्य हनुमान मंदिर भी हैं। इस गुफा में हर पूर्णिमा की रात को भजन संध्या होती हैं जो कि एक संगीतमय रात्रि जागरण होता हैं।
अब कैसे छूटे राम रट लागी।
प्रभु जी, तुम चंदन हम पानी,
जाकी अँग-अँग बास समानी ।।

शिवलिंग का स्वप्न
दाता होकम जब दशानन करते हुए निरंजनी अखाड़े के साथ उदयपुर पधारे, तब उन्हें एक रात स्वप्न आया कि मध्य उदयपुर से कुछ ही दूर किसी गुफानुमा पहाड़ी के अंदर एक छोटा सा महादेव का लिंग है तब से गुरुजी को वो स्वप्न बार बार हर रात्रि को आने लगा । मानो वो लिंग उनको अपनी तरफ खींच रहा हो । देशाटन करते हुए वह जहा भी जाते वह स्वप्न उनका पीछा नही छोड़ता , उनको नींद नही लेते हुए बहुत समय बीत गया था ।
अपने गुरूजी की आज्ञा पाकर दाता हुकम 1951 कार्तिक माह में सर्वप्रथम उदयपुर से 10 किलोमीटर दूर मानव खेडा गांव में पधारे और वह तीन-चार दिन रुके। वहाँ लोगो से अपने स्वप्न दृश्य की चर्चा कर की एवं स्वप्न से मिलता जुलता स्थान ढूंढते हुए वह एकलिंगपुरा जा पहुंचे । वहाँ पर भी लोगो को अपने सपने का वृत्तांत सुनाया। वहा के लोगो ने गुरुजी को कुछ बच्चो के साथ संध्या काल मे होंडा पर्वत जो कि तितरडी (बिलिया) में है वहां तक पहुचाया। वो कार्तिक पूर्णिमा का दिन था। वहाँ पर्वत पर पहले से एक धूणी थी। गुरुदेव कुछ समय तक उस धूणी के पास बैठे रहे फिर उन्हें लगा की वो सपने वाला लिंग उन्हें अपनी तरफ बुला रहा है वहाँ खोजबीन करने पर गुरुजी को गुफा के मुख्य द्वार दिखाई पड़ा जो कि उस समय चमकादडो की पीठ से करीब करीब पूरा बन्द था गुरुजी ने अपने वस्त्रो से गुफा की सफाई की तथा अंदर जा कर शिवलिंग की खोज की । सद्गुरु बृज बिहारी जी बन की उम्र वर्तमान में करीब 95 से 100 वर्ष की हो चुकी है । पर वह हम सभी भक्तों को एक परिवार की तरह मानकर अपार प्रेम करते है। ऐसे सरल एवं प्रेममयी जीवन जीने वाले तथा निस्वार्थ भाव रखकर सम्पूर्ण मानव कल्याण में सर्वस्व लुटाने वाले गुरुदेव को हम बारम्बार प्रणाम केते है ।।जयमहादेव।

There are a lot of places of interest in and around Udaipur which attract a lot of tourists from across the globe. One such place is the Fish Point near Kumbhalgarh. The Fish Point is basically a small lake known as Hammeripal lake situated in Taladri village. The Taladri village is in the Kumbhalgarh Tehsil, Rajasamand district. Let’s find out why is it famous?
The Hammeripal Lake is famous due to its large number of fish. It is a less crowded spot in the village and people often come here to have a look at the fish population. But what is about the fish in this lake that makes it so popular?

The lake is the home to thousands of African Catfish!! They are present in the lake in a number that might frighten some while some might feel a bit uneasy to watch such a huge number of Catfish accumulating to be fed. But literally, they are a sight not to be missed!
It looks unreal and feeding them is all the more fun.
Why are these Catfish in the Hammeripal Lake in Kumbhalgarh?
The story that the local people have about the ‘dangerously looking’ catfish is that one ‘Fish Contractor’ developed this breed in the lake for commercial ‘Fish Farming’. The villagers were concerned about the natural beauty of the place and that this entire place would be commercialized due to the same. Henceforth, all the villagers shunned his practice of fish farming.
Since that time, the Catfish kept increasing and breeding. Also, the local people are very apprehensive about fishing in the lake. They do not allow any local or outsider to catch these Catfish from the lake; and if they happen to find someone catching, strict actions are taken against the person.
These African catfish eat bread and local snacks and can be fed by the visitors.
Have a look at the video of these Catfish gathered to have a brunch!!!
The reason behind the name, Hammeripal Lake
The lake is so called because it was constructed by the Sisodia clan ruler, Rana Hammir Singh and so it was named after him as Hammeripal lake.
You can also read our article about Rana Hammir Singh, HERE
Location
The lake is situated 2-3 kilometer before the Kumbhalgarh fort. It is located in the village named ‘Taladri’. Kumbhalgarh is at a distance of 100 Km approx. from Udaipur.

About Kumbhalgarh
Kumbhalgarh is the birthplace of the great warrior of Mewar, Maharana Pratap. Built during the course of the 15th century; the fort has a wall, 38 km long and is among the largest wall complex in the world. Kumbhalgarh was built and ruled by Rana Kumbha and hence the name Kumbhalgarh. Some legends say that the Rana Kumbha wasn’t able to build the wall over repeated attempts and then it was told by a spiritual sage that place demands a human sacrifice. At first, no one volunteered but then one day a man agreed and the ritual was performed. Today the main gate of the fortress, Hanuman Pol, contains a shrine and a temple to commemorate the great sacrifice.
During the summers in Udaipur, it looks like the sun is quite angry with all of us. Advertisement of glucose powder where the sun is sucking the energy out of us seems literal.

A battle between the armies of Maharana Pratap and Mughals took place on Vijaya Dashami at Dewair valley. Both the Generals of the Mughal army Sultan Khan and Bahlol Khan got killed in the battle and as a result, the hill was captured by Maharana Pratap, which is now known as “Meva Ka Mathara”. This place is situated around 1 km north-west of the village of Dewair.
In remembrance of this historic victory of Maharana Pratap, the State Government had constructed a huge National Victory Monument at Meva ka Mathara under Mewar Complex Plan. This monument was inaugurated by first female President of India her Excellency President Madam Pratibha Devi Singh Patil on 10th January 2012. Dedicated to the historic victory achieved, this monument is a humble tribute from the Nation to Maharana Pratap.
History of Dewair
In the olden days, Dewair was ruled by various people, from Mair Caste to Deveda Rajputs. Dewair’s geographical location is very important from the strategic perspective as various ways to Marwar, Mewar, Gujarat, and Malva pass from Dewair.
The Battlefield “Dewair ki Naal” (Dewair Valley) is situated around 2 K.M. South West to the village Dewair. The famous battle of Dewair had started here on Vijaya Dashmi, 1582.
After Haldighati battle Mughal King Akbar established various Mughal posts in Mewar through Dewair Route. During his establishments, he continued to invade Mewar through his representatives Maan Singh, Bhagwan Das, Todar Mal and Shaah Baaz Khan etc. But Maharana Pratap continued to diffuse his invasions by using Guerrilla warfare. Maharana Pratap in this duration started re-uniting and strengthening his army and collecting weapons with the help of his allies from Sirohi, Ieder, Jalore etc.
He spread a rumor that he had left Mewar and surrendered all his operations. By this diplomatic step, he deceived the Mughal emperor and attacked the strongest Mughal post situated at Dewair.
