  • His Highness Arvind Singh Mewar Would Be Very Grateful If You
    INTRODUCTION Tod evidently knew so much at fi rst hand; he read everything bearing on his subject that he could come across, and he wrote it all down with such honesty of purpose and in so entertaining a style that he produced a classic: and classics are apt to be dangerous things …1 “His Highness Arvind Singh Mewar would be very grateful if you could telephone him as soon as possible …” A messenger from the calling booth near my apartment in Jaipur delivered the fax on a hot aft ernoon in late March. I had met Shri Arvind Singh two weeks earlier at one of his hotels in Bikaner. He had graciously made time for a private meet- ing to discuss my work on James Tod and invited me to lunch with a Brazilian polo player he was recruiting for his team, his English media consultant and his daughter—a daunting crowd, and not the company in which I typically fi nd myself. Because he was the “Mahārānā,”̣ were such titles still possible, I wanted to learn what he knew of Tod. He had a reputation for being well disposed towards scholars, and I harbored the hope that he might have a cache of materials in his possession, or at least family lore that would be of use to me. Th ere was no archive, but he was friendly, inter- ested, and very supportive of my work. I went quickly to return his call and found that he had a task for me. His trust, the Maharana Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF) every year gives out a series of awards to individuals who exemplify the ide- als that the foundation was instituted to support.

So we begin in Delhi (Old and New) to see her top monuments, great and small, before heading down to Uttar Pradesh -- Agra, home of the Taj Mahal, where no photograph or description has quite measured up to the beauty of the place when experienced firsthand. Watch as the white marble facade is illuminated at sunrise (and sunset) and examine the Taj’s iconic Mughal architecture. But there’s more to Agra than just the Taj, like the Agra Fort and (for those who want to venture further afar) the Tomb of Itmad-ud-Dualah and the mysterious ghost town of Fatehpur Sikri.

  • The City of Udaipur: an Insight Founded by Maharana Udai Singh II
    The City Of Udaipur: An Insight by traveldesk Founded by Maharana Udai Singh II in 1568, Udaipur has many legends attached to it. Udai Singh founded this city after Mughal Emperor Akbar besieged his fortress, Chittorgarh. It is believed that a holy man, meditating on the hill near Pichola Lake, advised Udai Singh to set up his capital here. After his death in 1572, Udai Singh was succeeded by Maharana Pratap, the most admired Rajput hero. As you read on this Udaipur city guide further, you will get to know more about this beautiful city. During Maharana Pratap's reign, Udaipur saw a battle being fought with the Mughals at Haldighati in 1576. In the years that followed, there were numerous invasions and battles fought by Mewar. All this came to rest in 19th century with the help of British intervention. A treaty was signed to protect Udaipur from the foreign invaders. After becoming independent, Udaipur merged itself within the union of India. Also known as the Venice of the east, the city Udaipur in Rajasthan, India mesmerizes the tourists with its charm and beauty. Because of many lakes Udaipur, it is sometimes also called the city of lakes. Udaipur travel and tourism will bring you across a number of palaces, rich in architectural beauty. The Lake Palace on Jag Niwas Island in the middle of Pichola Lake, along with the City Palace and the Jag Niwas are some of the famous palaces of the city. Udaipur is also known for its exquisite arts, craft and miniature paintings. Then there is also the famous Shilpgram festival attracting the tourists to Udaipur.

  • 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.

  • Life Story of Maharana Pratap August 2017 Savior of Liberty and Self-Respect
    Life Story of Maharana Pratap August 2017 Savior of Liberty and self-respect, ‘Hindua Suraj’ - Maharana Pratap ‘Shesha naag sir sehas paye, dhar rakhi khud aap, Ik bhala ri nok pai, thay dhabi partap!’ – Ram Singh Solanki Meaning: Shesh –the remainder, that which remains when all else cease to exist. Naag - Serpent. Shesha Naag is said to hold the planets of the universe on his hoods. He has to use his thousand hoods to protect and stabilize the unstable earth. But, Oh Pratap! You stabilized and protected the entire motherland, solely on the tip of your spear. Where the Snake God held the Earth on its thousands of heads; there, Oh! Brave Maharana Pratap, you have not only held your land on the tip of your spear but also used the strength of your spears to protect it. Maharana Pratap was the hundred and fourth heir of the great Sun dynasty ‘Suryavansh’. The Kings of erstwhile India were divided into two dynastic categories namely ‘Suryavanshi’ and ‘Chandravanshi’ based on the Sun and Moon Gods respectively. Mythological texts and manuscripts also refer to these two dynasties in which the ‘Suryavanshi’ Kings hold greater significance. This ‘Suryavansh’ dynasty was later known as ‘Rughavansh’ dynasty tracing its ancestry to ‘Surya’ the Sun God. The incarnation of Lord Rama, destroyer of the malevolent demon Ravana also occurred in the ‘Suryavanshi’ dynasty and it is believed that the Kingdom of Mewar originated from Luv, the elder son of Rama. This dynastic tradition continued with the birth of the popular King Guhaditya/Guhil in 568 CE and the dynasty was thus referred to as ‘Guhilvansh’/’Guhilot’ with ‘Rawal’ as its title.
