  • The Royal Gangaur by Taj Lake Palace

    The Royal Gangaur by Taj Lake Palace

    THE ROYAL GANGAUR BY TAJ LAKE PALACE HISTORY OF THE ‘ROYAL GANGUAR’ _______ Steeped in history, the Gangaur is your chance to relive royal history dating back 150 years. This huge colourful boat once belonged to the Maharana of Udaipur and was used by him and his Maharani to watch the Gangaur festival. Gangaur (Gauri) is an incarnation of Goddess Parvathi, consort of Lord Shiva. A popular festival in Rajasthan, it is believed that during this period Parvati returned to her parental home to bless her friends with marital bliss. She is worshipped by married women, who, just as in Karva Chauth, fast and pray for the longevity of their husbands and unmarried girls for a suitable partner. On the last day women dressed in their finery – traditional Rajasthan costumes and jewellery — take out a procession in Rajasthan’s cities. In Udaipur, a colourful procession on Lake Pichola, with music and dance, ends with fireworks on the banks of the lake. The rulers of the day watched this festival from their royal boat, as the best of delicacies were served to them. There were two Gangaurs belonging to the Maharana, but over the years ended up being rather dilapidated. Word has it that during the shooting of the James Bond film Octopussy, a British naval expert salvaged parts from both to make one workable Gangaur. A LEGACY OF LUXURY A truly memorable experience on the historic Gangaur, the 150-year old boat used by the erstwhile Maharanas THE ROYAL ‘EXPERIENCE’ _______ A starlit night, shimmering, cool waters of a huge lake surrounded on all sides by historical palaces lit seductively, send their shadows dancing in the waters of the lake and weave a magic spell around you, in a 150-year-old royal barge rowed by six men.

    Report on Trip to Udaipur and Kumbhalgarh Fort

    REPORT ON TRIP TO UDAIPUR AND KUMBHALGARH FORT “Take only memories, leave only footprints.” -Chief Seattle In our school's continuous endeavour to promote hands-on learning, an educational trip to Udaipur and Kumbhalgarh Fort was organized from 12 to 16 October 2018 for the students of classes VII to XI. On 12 October 2018, thirty-two students accompanied by four teachers, boarded an air-conditioned AC Coach for Udaipur, also known as the ‘City of Lakes’. As expected, the ambience was of excitement and enthusiasm. Dinner was served en route in a sophisticated bistro. We reached Oriental Palace Resort, our hotel, early in the morning on 13 October 2018. The rooms were assigned to children on four-sharing basis. After some rest and quick bite, we visited Maharana Pratap Smarak, Fateh Sagar Lake and Sahelion Ki Bari in the evening. The Fateh Sagar lake was picturesque and the tranquility of the place was enhanced against the orange beams of the evening sun. The students enjoyed boating in the lake and admired the fountains and manicured gardens with a plethora of blooming flowers in Sahelion Ki Bari. Boating at Fateh Sagar Lake and Haldi Ghati However, the Maharana Pratap Smarak was the best of all. The exquisite, larger-than-life idol of the great Rajput on his horse was magnificent to behold. It was further glorified when the guide told the students the story of the Battle of Haldighati and one couldn't help but marvel at the courage of the king. By the time dinner was served at the hotel, everyone was looking forward to the next day.
