City Palace, Udaipur, Royal palace complex in Udaipur, India

The palace extends across a hillside along Lake Pichola's eastern bank, incorporating multiple courtyards, terraces, and structures built in granite and marble.

Construction began in 1553 when Maharana Udai Singh II established Udaipur as the new capital of Mewar, following strategic relocations from earlier capitals.

The museum collection presents royal artifacts, including armory, textiles, paintings, and ceremonial objects that document the Mewar dynasty's traditions.

Visitors enter through the Badi Pol gateway and follow a route through various sections of the palace complex, including the public museum areas.

The palace contains the Sheesh Mahal, constructed by Maharana Pratap for Maharani Ajabde, featuring extensive mirror decorations throughout its chambers.
