“Everyone who visits Udaipur leaves changed – the city is imbued with a richness and a love that is incredibly rare. In the monsoons, Udaipur is adorned with God’s own makeup, when shades of green, grey, blue and white come together. In the winters, it is resplendent with reds and oranges of the most spectacular sunrises and sunsets, and its palaces and hills become minor characters to the glowing sky and shimmering lakes dancing together. Finally, in the summer, the ever-present sun burns the sky into hues of blue, the heat playing against the cooling white its traditional architecture. Udaipur embodies the spirit of the ancient principle of “atithi devo bhava” – guest is God. Here you will find love, culture, nature, and something about yourself!” – Ananya Singhal, Managing Partner Studio Saar
