12/22: Day 3 in Udaipur

On the streets of Udaipur, I ran into Hila (from Israel) from my cooking class in Pushkar. So we spent the day together.

First we went to the Royal Palace, the largest in Rajasthan - over 800 feet long and 100 feet high. It was built over more than a century (1600-1725), added to by successive Maharanas (I learned today that Maharana was the highest ruler, and Maharaja was a local ruler).

We spent about 4 hours at the palace, then took an auto rickshaw out of town to an arts and crafts fair. Here is a dancer from one of the minority people of Rajasthan.
