On
day three morning you are in Chittaurgarh. The
day begins with a visit to the fort, lauded in
legends of valour and chivalry. History has it
at Bappa Rawal, the founder of the Sisodia dynasty,
conquered Chittaur in the middle of the 8th century
from the Maurya rulers. Chittaur was besieged
and plundered thrice, and the womenfolk performed
'jauhar', in a sacred fire to protect their honour
everytime.

Shop for the tie & dye sarees, leather &
embroidered shoes, lac work articles and bangles.
Lake City, Udaipur is the next part of the day.
It was founded by Maharana Udai Singh of Mewar,
after the Sisodia dynasty was driven away by
the mugals, in 1559 AD Perhaps the two most
beautiful sites of Udaipur are the dreamlike
marble palaces- the Jag Niwas (Lake Palace)
and the Jag Mandir, which appear to rise from
the blue waters of Lake Pichhola. After lunch
at Lake Palace Hotel, visit to the City Palace
is exhilarating.
