Udaipur- Udai Vilas Palace

We went to Udaipur, Udai Vilas Palace in October 2014 Diwali vacation. It was a trip to be cherished.

The palace is turned into hotel now and we the commoners can also enjoy  Royal hood.

The staff is very friendly and helpful and service is extremely good. Moment we entered the parking and went in the gate, we were escorted to the reception area after a shower of rose petals from above.

The room had a semi private swimming pool attached to it making it more appealing. 

Food was fantastic and so was the spa and other facilities. We can take long walk after a heavy meal and enjoy the beautiful view of Udaipur lake and palaces, fort around.

Omkareshwar

Omkareshwar.It is on an island called Mandhata or Shivapuri in the Narmada river. The shape of the island is said to be like the Hindu Om symbol , not sure if it holds true after the dam now.

There are two temples here, one to Omkareshwar (means "OM-maker-lord") and one to Amareshwar (means "immortal lord" or "lord of the immortals"). Narmda is one of the most sacred rivers of India, there is a saying that a dip in Ganga will rid you of all the sins, just the darshan of Narmada has that power. Mamleshwara is the old original temple just opposite to Omkareshwar temple. Both should be visited specially Mamleshwara to get the feel of that past world.

Some of the boat ride photos of my last visit to Omkareshwar in July 09.
