Udaipur’s The City Palace Museum comprises the Mardana Mahal (palace for the royal men) and The Zenana Mahal (palace for the royal ladies). Since 1969 these two palaces have been preserved and developed as The City Palace Museum, which is open to the general public.

The Museum is in fact a series of palaces, built from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries, spatially divided into royal private areas and public zones. Each of the palaces represents unique architectural styles and materials. Rare murals on the walls and ceilings, glass inlay work, original paintings and artefacts are spread over 20,000 square metres. Weaponry, armaments and personal belongings of the rulers are on display in their original places.

Palace courtyards such as the Mor Chowk with peacocks, exquisitely created with glass inlay adoring the walls; Chini Chitrashali with 18h century Dutch and Chinese tile-work; Krishan Vilas, Bhim Vilas, Chandra Mahal and the palace garden of Baadi Mahal at the highest point of the ridge are the most frequently visited.

The Museum houses an incomparable collection of court paintings of the Mewar School that flourished from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries. These rare paintings are displayed in the Dilkushal Mahal, Baadi Mahal and the west wing of the Zenana Mahal.

On an annual average, more than 8,00,000 visitors tour The City Palace Museum. They are able to experience the architectural spaces and see breathtaking views of Udaipur, the island-palaces on Lake Pichola and the mountains beyond. An Audio Service Guide (in English, Garman, French and Spanish) makes the museum tour memorable and filled with anecdotes.

Over the last five centuries, the City Palace Complex has been welcoming visitors to its palaces, celebrating ancient indian festivals with pomp and dignity, marking a confluence of the 1500 year-old royal family with the people of Mewar and the world.
