City Palace on Lake Pichola
Listed under Palaces in Udaipur, India.
City Palace towers over the Pichola Lake. Maharana Uday Singh initiated in the construction of the palace but succeeding Maharanas added several palaces and structures to the complex retained a surprising uniformity to the design. Full of wonderful inlaid floral designs on the walls. There were rooms for the men and rooms for the women. The women’s room has this lovely swing with a padded seat where they could sit and chat with each other. There were even gardens just for the royal ladies!
