Hotels In Saheliyon Ki Bari

Udaipur, Rajasthan, India
Saheliyon Ki Bari, literally translated as the 'Courtyard of the Maidens' or the 'Garden of Friends', is one of Udaipur's most beautiful and historical gardens. It was constructed in the 18th century (circa 1710 to 1734) by Maharana Sangram Singh II as a luxurious green retreat for the royal ladies, specifically for the Queen and the 48 young women (Maidens) who accompanied her as part of her wedding retinue. The Maharana himself is said to have designed the garden, keeping in mind the Queen's love for the sound of rain, aiming to create a lush, pleasant environment in the otherwise arid state of Rajasthan. The garden is famous for its delightful fountains, beautifully landscaped lawns, marble art, and a serene lotus pool. A unique aspect of the garden is that the fountains operate solely on the principle of water pressure, fed from the nearby Fateh Sagar Lake, with no pumps used. This ancient engineering feat is a marvel to behold even today. The garden features four main water pools, fountains shaped like birds and marble elephants, and beautiful kiosks (chatris) that served as resting points. The entire garden complex provides a tranquil sanctuary, featuring a museum of royal household items, which are housed in an outbuilding. Saheliyon Ki Bari is a symbol of the exquisite taste and opulence of the Mewar rulers, dedicated to the leisure and comfort of the royal women, and remains one of the most popular places to visit in Udaipur. ###
