20 Days in India - UDAIPUR
Written By Jonathan Jelfs
Continuing to re-edit my northern India series from 2019: 20 Days in India. This time from the city of Udaipur, sometimes thought of as the Venice of the east. It was a strikingly beautiful place, a popular wedding location - I even got involved with photographing a wedding couple. the city has several sparkling lakes against a backdrop of the Aravail hills. Jag Niwas and Jag Mandir, islands in Fateh Sagar Lake, are the site of Udaipur Solar Observatory and Nehru Garden. Famous palaces include the magical Lake Palace, now a luxurious five-star hotel, and the massive City Palace on Pichola’s east bank, featuring epic courtyards and stunning paintings.
