Mewad in eastern Rajastan ,barely 75 km from lake city Udaipur,the mighty Kumbalgarh fort stands majestically unfurling the history of The Great Ranas of the Mewar , the pious land of Sisodiya’s. The Haldi Ghati battle , the heroic saviour the great horse chetak, Maharana Pratap’s, recluse for twenty one years , well i am totally mesmerized, reading the history in text books is one thing and actually visiting the place , and feeling it , well i cant express myself right now as to how i was feeling .
Gaddari, due to which Maharana Pratap lost the Haldi ghati battle, has been a curse to the Indians , can we not ever overcome it ? , its a question i am asking the youths of this country,a computer savy, ultra modern in looks and action but the same old crap at the heart.
Mewad, the land of excellent mouth watering Royal rajastani cuisine for which they are famous across india ,humble people , possibly the only cultivable land in Rajastan , good vegetation , fairly better weather compared to other parts of Rajastan,marble and other precious stone in abundance found here.home to shrinathji at Nathdwara, a beutiful temple of lord shrikrishna , more popularly known as laddu gopal . Udaipur, lovely city of palaces, lakes ,forts,beautiful gardens, one of the planned cities in the northern India. comparatively cooler compared to other Rajastan urban cities, Mount Abu ,nearby 4-5 hours drive.
“i must compliment the roads in Rajastan, they are well maintained. the Udaipur -Ahmedabad Highway was awesome, being a part of the golden quadrilateral project of National Highways Authorities of India, en route Gandhingar airport to catch flight to pune, Both sides and the center of the highways beautifully lined by colorful bougainvillaeas. a lovely sight indeed.” pl. visit the uploaded video of this road on YouTube.Link- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwLZX4GA1WE
