📜 A Brief History of Udaipur

Udaipur was founded in 1559 by Maharana Udai Singh II, the ruler of the Mewar Kingdom, after the decline of nearby Chittorgarh due to repeated Mughal invasions. Seeking a more secure capital, he established Udaipur in a valley surrounded by the Aravalli hills, naturally protected and blessed with scenic beauty.

The city rose to prominence as the seat of the Mewar dynasty, one of India’s oldest and most fiercely independent royal lineages. The Mewars are remembered for their valor and resistance against Mughal rule—most notably the legendary warrior king Maharana Pratap, who fought in the historic Battle of Haldighati.

Udaipur remained an independent princely state until India’s independence in 1947. Today, it proudly preserves its heritage through well-maintained palaces, museums, and traditional arts.
