Eklingi & Nagada
The interesting little village of Eklingi, with a
number of ancient temples, is only 22 km and a
short bus ride north of Udaipur. The Shiva temple in the
village itself was originally built in 734, although its
present form dates from the rule of Maharana Raimal
between 1473 and 1509. The walled complex includes an
elaborately pillared hall under a large pyramidal roof and
features a four- faced Siva image of black marble. The
temple is open at rather odd hours-5 to 7 am, 10 am to 1
pm and 5 to 7 pm.
At Nagada, about a km off the road and a km before
Eklingi, are three old temples. The Jain temple of
Adbudji is essentially ruined, but its architecture is
interesting and it’s very old. The nearby Sas Bahu,
or Mother and Daughter-in-Law, group has very fine and
intricate architecture and carvings, including some erotic
figures. You can reach these temples most conveniently by
hiring a bicycle in Eklingi itself.
Lake
Pichola
The beautiful Lake Pichola was enlarged by
Maharana Udai Singh after he founded the city. He built a
masonry dam, known as the Badi Pol, and the lake is now
four km in length and three km wide. Nevertheless, it
remains fairly shallow and can actually dry up in severe
droughts. At these times, you can walk to the island
palaces from the shore. Fortunately, this doesn’t happen
often. The City Palace extends a considerable distance
along the east bank of the lake. South of the palace, a
pleasant gardens runs down to the lake. North of the
palace, you can wander along the lake, where there are
some interesting bathing and dhobi (laundry) ghats.
Out in the lake are two islands- Jagniwas and
Jagmandir. Boat rides, which leave regularly from the City
Palace jetty (known as Bansi Ghat), are pleasant but
expansive.
At Udaipur take a boat trip over Lake Pichhola at sunset.
Optional dinner at Shiv Niwas Palace.
