The Saheliyon Ki Bari, an enchanting garden filled with fountains, kiosks, and marble elephants, serves as a reminder of the opulent lifestyle of the Maharanis. Udaipur’s architectural beauty can also be seen in the intricately carved Jagdish Temple and the majestic Sajjangarh Palace (Monsoon Palace), which boasts panoramic views of the city and its lakes.
