Udaipur, India - November 23rd, 2006

The old city marked by the remains of a city wall, is on the east side of Lake Pichola. This lake was enlarged by Maharaja Udai Singh after he founded the city. He flooded Picholi village by building a masonry dam, known as the Badipol. The lake is shallow and dries up in draughts. The city Palace decorates the east bank of the lake.
North of the Palace, you can wonder around the lakeshore, where there are some interesting bathing and dhobi (clothes washing) ghats.
The lake has two islands: Jagniaws and Jagmandic. Jagniwas is the Lake Palace hotel island and it looks beautiful at sunset from the city.
