Udaipur was founded in 1559 by Maharana Udai Singh II and served as the capital of the Mewar kingdom; the City Palace complex grew under successive rulers and displays blended architectural influences.

Temple Dress Code
Wear shoulders- and knee-covering clothing for Jagdish Temple and other sacred sites; keep a scarf handy to cover up quickly.
