Udaipur Palace - Palace on Wheels

Lazing on the edge of the Lake Pichola, Udaipur was the capital of the Sisodia Rajputs after they moved from Chittaur. The City Palace in Udaipur is a complex of reception halls, residential halls, residential suites and internal courts from which the state lounge and bedrooms take the colour schemes-dominant blue and white. The most fascinating of the inner courts is the Peacock Court where Peacocks have been modelled in high relief and faced with coloured glass mosaic. The lounge d?cor is influenced by the 'Mor Chowk' or the Peacock Court. The medium used is a combined of relief work and Patra or oxidized white metal work. The royal crest of the state, in alluring zardosi work, is set on the valance of the blinds.
