The Jaisamand Lake (also known at the Dhebar Lake) is an idyllic place to visit if one has the time as it is a short 50kms away from Udaipur. This lake was built in the 1600s when Maharan Udai Singh built a dam on the Gomti River. It is the second largest artificial lake in India.

We entered Udaipur at dusk after a satisfying visit to Chittaurgarh. Udaipur is known by many monikers - the Venice of the East, City of Lakes, the most Romantic destination in the country etc.. We cannot wait. As the sun sets, we can see the outlines of the Aravali range leading us into Udaipur.
We had booked ourselves in Lake Pichola Hotel – affordable, yet on the banks of Lake Pichola. We navigate through some pretty narrow streets to get to the hotel and check in (We did not take our cars out for the next few days). We got rooms literally next to the lake. We were thrilled at hearing the lake water gently lap the parapet wall, right outside our rooms.

This video was made at the Purani Subzi Mandi (old vegetable market) in Udaipur in Rajasthan in India. With most stalls run by women, it seems people are out to shop here all the time.
