About Udaipur
Udaipur (Hindi: IPA: [ʊdəjpʊɾ], ) (ISO 15919: Udayapura) is a city in the north-western Indian state of Rajasthan, about 415 km (258 mi) south of the state capital Jaipur. It serves as the administrative headquarters of Udaipur district. It is the historic capital of the kingdom of Mewar in the former Rajputana Agency. It was founded in 1559 by Udai Singh II of the Sisodia clan of Rajputs, when he shifted his capital from the city of Chittorgarh to Udaipur after Chittorgarh was besieged by Akbar.

History
Udaipur as it is today was founded by Maharana Udai Singh II in 1559, the father of Maharana Pratap. Udai Singh decided that the best spot for his new capital was around Lake Pichola and Udaipur turned into the city it now is.
