Across the world, many cities are known for their unique identity, culture and architectural heritage.

One such globally admired city is popularly known as the \u2018White City\u2019<\/strong> because of its bright white buildings and captivating beauty.

The city known as the \u2018White City\u2019<\/strong> is Udaipur<\/strong>, located in the Indian state of Rajasthan<\/strong>.

The city is home to numerous historic palaces, havelis and monuments made of white stone, making it stand out from other cities.<\/p>\n

The white architecture significantly enhances Udaipur\u2019s scenic charm and contributes to its recognition as the \u2018White City\u2019.

Every year, thousands of tourists from India and around the world visit Udaipur to experience its rich heritage and natural beauty.<\/p>\n

Among its many landmarks, the City Palace<\/strong> is considered the crown jewel of Udaipur. Built primarily with white marble, the palace further reinforces the city\u2019s identity as the White City. A section of this grand palace is still inhabited by the descendants of Maharana Pratap. The city itself was founded in 1559 by Maharana Udai Singh II.<\/p>\n

Following repeated attacks on Chittorgarh, Maharana Udai Singh decided to establish a new capital, which led to the creation of Udaipur. With its serene lakes and elegant white structures, Udaipur is often referred to as the \u2018Venice of the East\u2019<\/strong>. Every year, the city attracts a large number of domestic and international tourists who come to admire its timeless charm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
