Fateh Sagar Lake is well-planned with three inflow channels and an outflow channel which is kept open only in the rainy season. The lake was made to meet the needs of drinking water, farming, industrial, and so on. The source of water for the Lake is from the streams down the Aravalli hills and monsoon rains. This lake is linked to Pichola, Madar and Badi lakes. An annual festival known as Hariyali Amavasya Mela is held near the lake in the Hindu month of Shravan (August / September).In 1687, Maharana Jai Singh first constructed the lake but two hundred years later the earthen bund which formed the lake was washed away during floods, and thereafter Maharana Fatah Singh, the ruler of former Mewar State, reconstructed it in 1888 The Duke of Connaught, third son of Queen Victoria laid the foundation stone for the new construction. The lake is now named after the king, as Fatah Sagar Lake.

Sight Address : Sajjangarh Palace (Monsoon Palace)Bansdara,Mountainp, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India Edit

Detail InformationEdit

The Monsoon Palace, formerly known as the Sajjan Garh Palace, is a hilltop palatial residence in the city of Udaipur, Rajasthan in India, overlooking the lake Pichola. It is named as Sajjangarh after Maharana Sajjan Singh (1874–1884) of the Mewar Dynasty, who built it in 1884. It offers a panoramic view of the city’s lakes, palaces and surrounding countryside. It was built basically to watch the monsoon clouds; hence, appropriately, it is popularly known as Monsoon Palace. It is said that the Maharana built it at the top of the hill to get a view of his ancestral home of Chittaurgarh. Previously owned by the Mewar royal family, it is now under the control of the Forest Department of the Government of Rajasthan and has been opened to the public recently. The palace provides a beautiful view of the sunset.

Sajjangarh Palace (Monsoon Palace)

HistoryEdit

The Monsoon Palace, formerly known as the Sajjan Garh Palace, is a hilltop palatial residence in the city of Udaipur, Rajasthan in India. The Monsoon Palace was built by Maha Rana Sajjan Singh and also named after him in the year 1884. The Maha Rana had planned to build nine storied observatory here for the purpose of observing the monsoon arrival and predicting the weather. However, it could not be met as he passed away at a young age. Towards the left of the Monsoon heritage palace is Shikarbadi, a shooting box located on the southern end of the Lake Pichola. It was built by Maha Rana Sajjan Singh and it is converted into a small palace now. It reflects the history of the Mewar kingdom. Sajjan Singh, Maharana (b. July 18, 1859 d. December 23, 1884), the initial builder of the Monsoon Palace was the seventy–second ruler of the Mewar Dynasty (1874–1884) and he ruled from Udaipur for a short period of 10 years until his untimely death. The Mewar dynasty traces its history to Guhil who founded the Mewar State in 568 AD.Even though Sajjan Singh accepted the crown when he was 15 years old, his uncle Sohan Singh had challenged his right to the crown and even plotted through astrologers, who had said the timing for the coronation was not appropriate. But the then British agent, who was in favour of Sajjan Singh, intervened and persuaded the astrologers to give a favourable date for the crowning. But the Coronation of Sajjan Singh took place two years after he was nominated to the crown. As the trouble maker uncle was still persisting with his obdurate attitude towards the newly crowned Maharana, his property was confiscated and he was also incarcerated. The Maharana, considered an enlightened ruler and a “”Man of Vision””, after he was invested with power in 1876, launched on a massive programme of developmental activities in his kingdom by way of enlarging infrastructure facilities such as roads, water supply works and several civil works. He also introduced civic administration and civil courts and improved all round environment by afforestation and lake improvements. He got the Pichola Lake desilted and the masonry dam re-built to improve storage capacity and also preserved national heritage with his personal interest in arts and culture. The most ambitious project he undertook was building of the Sajjan Garh Palace or the Monsoon Palace, as a western backdrop to the Udaipur city (lack of water is attributed as reason for the palace turning into ruins in later years). It was during his rule that Udaipur city got the distinction of being the second Municipality in India, after Bombay. For his outstanding achievements to furtherance of Mewar kingdom and to remind him that his was a princley state under the British Raj, he was conferred the title of “”Grand Commander of the Star of India”” in November 1881 by Lord Ripon, on the occasion of Queen Victoria’s crowning as the Empress of India.The Sajjangarh Palace is a feast to the senses with fine lime plaster finished walls, marble engraved pillars, big swings, huge domes and beautiful fountains. They depict the excellent skills in art and architecture of people in this region.

Sight Address : City Palace and Museum,Udaipur, Rajasthan Edit

Detail InformationEdit

City Palace and Museum,Udaipur City Palace is one of the architectural marvels of Rajasthan, located peacefully on the banks of Lake Pichola. This majestic City Palace is the most-visited tourist Arrraction of Udaipur and often distinguished as the largest palace complex in Rajasthan. Initially, Maharana Udai Singh built this superb wonder, but the present form of the Palace is the result of subsequent additions by his successors.

City palace and Museum in Udaipur

HistoryEdit

The City Palace Mseum, Udaipur was set up in 1969 by Maharana Bhagwat Singh ji to safeguard and preserve the cultural heritage and the time honoured traditions of the people of Mewar.The city Palace was built concurrently with establishment of the Udaipur city by Maharana Udai Singh II, in 1559 and his successor Maharanas over a period of the next 300 years. It is considered the largest royal complex in Rajasthan and is replete with history. Founding of the city and building of the palace complex can not be looked in isolation as the Maharanas lived and administered their kingdom from this palace.Prior to moving their capital from Chittor to Udaipur, the Mewar kingdom had flourished initially in Nagda (30 kilometres (19 mi) to the north of Udaipur), established in 568 AD by Guhil, the first Mewar Maharana. In the 8th century, the capital was moved to Chittor, a hill top fort from where the Sisodias ruled for 80 years. Maharana Udai Singh II inherited the Mewar kingdom at Chittor in 1537 but by that time there were signs of losing control of the fort in wars with the Mughals. Udai Singh II, therefore, chose the site near Lake Pichola for his new kingdom because the location was well protected on all sides by forests, lakes and the Aravalli hills. He had chosen this site for his new capital, much before the sacking of Chittor by Emperor Akbar, on the advice of a hermit he had met during one of his hunting expeditions.
