Together the Mardana Mahal (Palace for the Royal Men) and Zenana Mahal (Palace for the Royal Ladies) form an integral part of The City Palace Complex. Since 1969 these two palaces have been preserved and developed as The City Palace Museum that is open to the general public. They are infact a series of palaces, built from the 17th to the 20th centuries, and 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. Guides are available at the entrance.

The original Palace Garage has been sensitively restored and developed as The Vintage and Classic Car Collection. It has become a landmark for Udaipur ever since it was inaugurated in February 2000. The grand limousines and cars showcased in this new museum belong to the House of Mewar and are still in perfect running condition. Guests are privy to the display of the magnificent Rolls Royce, 1939 Cadillac open convertibles, rare Mercedes models, 1936 Vauxhall and 1937 Opel models. The Collection has been curated for the benefit of vintage car-lovers from India and all over the world; it is probably the only collection of its kind in India.

The Crystal Gallery
Timings: 10 am to 8 pm; open on all days.

Overlooking the Durbar Hall of the Fateh Prakash Palace is the renowned Crystal Gallery, probably the single largest private collection of crystal in the world. Since photography has been strictly prohibited, visitors are privy to one of the most exclusive and exquisite crystal collections. It was in 1877 that Maharana Sajjan Singh ordered the crystal collection from the Birmingham-based F & C Osler Company, including objets d'art, furniture, washing bowls, dinner sets, perfume bottles; the Crystal Gallery also houses the only crystal bed in the world. The crystal was sourced by F & C Osler Company from Europe. It is acknowledged as an example of European heritage preserved and displayed in India.

Jagriti Heritage Exhibition
Timings: 10 am to 8 pm; open on all days.

Jagriti is a 'heritage exhibition onsite' at Jagmandir, the island palace on Lake Pichola. It is a manifestation of the multilayered research undertaken as part of 'The City within a City' project in 2001-02. Rare paintings, old photographs, maps and contemporary architectural drawings have been brought together to facilitate the understanding of how Jagmandir evolved from the seventeenth century onwards and continues to grow in the twenty-first century. Jagriti is located on the ground floor of Gol Mahal. The first section, exhibited in the colonnaded veranda, is devoted to the five Maharanas-Maharana Karan Singh (1620-28), Maharana Jagat Singh I (1628-52), Maharana Sangram Singh II (1710-34), Maharana Bhupal Singh (1930-55) and Shri Arvind Singh Mewar (1984- ) - who contributed to the development of Jagmandir. The posters in the inner chamber were created from old photographs of Jagmandir and Gol Mahal, retrieved from old albums in the Maharana Mewar Special Library.

Flora Danica Collection
Timing: 10 am to 8 pm; open on all days.

The Royal House of Mewar has recently acquired eight setting of the world-famous Flora Danica porcelain collection. Flora Danica porcelain has a history of over 200 glorious years. The porcelain dinner service pieces are lavishly decorated and are considered status symbols among the European Royal Families. According to legend, the original Flora Danica dinner service was made as a gift for Catherine The Great of Russia. The Empress died before its completion in 1796 and it became part of the Danish Royal Family's heritage. Of the 1,802 pieces of the original Flora Danica service, 1,530 have survived and selected pieces are still used on occasions at the Amalienborg Palace, residence of the Danish royal family at Copenhagen. There is a Flora Danica collection on public display at Windsor Castle in England. Flora Danica pieces have the name of the plant depicted, the number of the print in roman numerals, the number of the volume and the factory's characteristic hallmark (three blue wavy lines) inscribed at the base. The Royal House of Mewar has acquired this collection of Flora Danica from a royal household.

Flora Danica Collection on view at the Gallery Restaurant, Fateh Prakash Palace, Udaipur.
