• Lohagarh Fort / Iron Like Fort:
           It was constructed by Bharatpur Jat rulers. Maharaja Suraj Mal used all his power and wealth to built numerous forts and palaces across his kingdom, one of them being the Lohagarh Fort (Iron fort), which was one of the strongest ever built in Indian history. Lohagarh fort is not so huge in size but the special thing about this fort that its outer wall is made of sand. Inner wall is of stone and Outer wall was made of sand so that intruders could not destroy this fort.
  
             Now you will think that outer wall is made of sand than it can be destroyed easily but its not like that. This fort is surrounded by water by digging the sand from outside perimeters and the sand was used to make outer wall, so that the canon's bullets immerse in sands wall and will not blast/destroy the inner stone wall. It was the time when English intruders were started using Canon's to win forts of the other countries. Due to water outside the fort, enemies could not reach near the fort and they had to attack from far places and that's why this fort is called undefeated. 
             English author and History writer of Rajasthan 'sir Jams Tod' has written that Winning this is fort is like biting iron grams. Total 13 attacks were made to this fort but it was inaccessible by foreign invaders. 
              The inaccessible Lohagarh fort could withstand repeated attacks of British forces led by Lord Lake in 1805 when they laid siege for over six weeks. Having lost over 3000 soldiers, the British forces had to retreat and strike a compromise with the Bharatpur ruler. Of the two gates in the fort, one in the north is known as Ashtdhaatu (eight metaled) gate while the one facing the south is called Charburja (four-pillared) gate.
  
  

  Monuments in the fort include are

Udaipur:
                   Udaipur was established by Rana Udai Singh (Father of Maharana Pratap Singh) for residential purpose between the mountains due to its natural greenery. Udaipur is also known as Lake City, because there are so many lakes in the circumference of Udaipur. It is surrounded by mountains from all sides. Calm and Green City of the state. It was the beautiful city of the state and still bears the crown of beautiful city in the state as well as in the country. It has remained the first visiting point for the visitors from long time, and it is also said that if you are going to visit rajasthan/india, then do visit Udaipur, the city of lakes. Few of prides of the city are mentioned below as per my knowledge which i explored in last three years of my stay in the city.

• Lake Pichhola:
• Made by a Banjara in the time of Rana udai Singh, when Udai Singh established Udaipur City. Lake was made by stopping the mountain water for common men's use. This is further attached with Fateh Sagar Lake and its surrounded by all royal palaces, hotels and sunset point from two sides and by mountains and open space from other two sides. You can enjoy Motor Boat riding in this lake, Jag Mandir (well known and very famous royal heritage resort) is in middle of Lake Pichhola. Hotel Lake Palace is also in middle of this Lake.


• Jag Mandir/Temple:
• Situated middleof Lake Pichhola. You can reach by motor boats. Its converted now into heritage hotels/resorts. Hollywood movie 'Octopussy' was filmed in udaipur and Jag Mandir. Many celebs also choose this place as their royal wedding destination. 

• Lake Palace Hotel:
• In the middle of the Lake Pichhola. Royal Hotel Palace. It remains the center point for stay for the celebs who generally choose this city as their wedding place. This Royel Hotel, along with Jag Mandir both are in middle of Lake Pichhola and gives immense peace to the mind with natural and calm water around it.

• Fateh Sagar Lake:
• This Lake was made by Rana Fateh Singh in 1680s, just ahead of lake pichola. The beautiful and most visiting place of udaipur and well known by FS for young generation. Most famous place Fateh Sagar's Paal. Its surrounded by Road from all sides. It is one of the four lakes of the Udaipur city; the other three being : the Lake Pichola (within the Udaipur town), Udai Sagar Lake (13 km to the east of Udaipur) and Dhebar Lake or Jaisamand Lake (52 km south east of Udaipur) Road sides of fateh sagar are known by Fateh Sagar ki Paal (फ़तेह सागर की पाल), Visitors hub (snakes, tea, coffee points), Rani Road etc.

• It is also in middle of Fateh Sagar Lake. The observatory was built in 1976 by Dr. Arvind Bhatnagar following the model of the Solar Observatory at Big Bear lake in Southern California. Later, he was joined by Dr. Ashok Ambastha in 1983 and subsequently by many others at different stages who have continued further contributing to its development. The observatory is having best environmental conditions for research and development on planets as sounds and heat rays are absorbed by water surrounded it.

• City Palace:
• The city Palace was built concurrently with establishment of the Udaipur city by Maharana Uday Singh, in 1559 and his successor Maharana's over a period of the next 300 years. It is considered the largest royal complex in Rajasthan and is replete with history. 
• Founding of the city and building of the palace complex can not be looked in isolation as the Maharana's lived and administered their kingdom from this palace at his capital Udaipur, Maharana Uday Singh soon faced defeat at the hands of Mughal Emperor Akbar. He soon moved to Udaipur to the chosen location to establish his new capital. The earliest royal structure he built here was the Royal courtyard or 'Rai Angan', which was the beginning of the building of the City Palace complex, at the place where the hermit had advised Maharana to build his Capital.
  
  
  
• Sajjangarh Fort) also known as Mansoon Palace:
• It used to be the Residence palace for the ruler family when they shifted from Chittorgarh to Udaipur. It over looks the Fateh Sagar Lake. It is named as Sajjan-garh after Maharana Sajjan Singh (1874–1884) of the Mewar Dynasty, who built it in 1884. The palace offers a panoramic view of the city's lakes, palaces and surrounding countryside.
• It was built basically to watch the monsoon clouds; hence, appropriately, it is popularly known as Monsoon Palace also. It is said that the Maharana built it at the top of the hill to get a view of his ancestral home of Chittaurgarh. Previously owned by the Mewar royal family, it is now under the control of the Forest Department of the Government of Rajasthan and has been opened to the public recently. The palace provides a beautiful view of the sunset also. The riding over the hill is so steep that one should avoid biking but it would be adventurous it one does on his own risk.

• Haldi Ghati:
• This War field of Maharana Pratap and Mugal Badshah Akbar's Army lies in Khamnor ki Ghati. Bettle field became totally red and in yellow after gwtting dry like turmeric with the blood of sluttered Soldiers. Its name turned to Haldi Ghati.
  
  History: On June 21, 1576 (or June 18 in other calculations), the armies of Pratap and Akbar (led by Syed Hashim) met at Haldighati, near the town of Gogunda. Pratap's army had a contingent of Afghan warriors led by his commander, Hakim Khan Sur.Hakim Khan Suri (also known as Hakim Soz Khan Afghan) was an Afghan warrior and chief of artillery in Rana Pratap's army. He fought valorously with him in the Battle of Haldighati and died in 1576. A small army of the Bhils, whom the Rana had befriended, also joined the battle against the Mughals. On the other hand, the Mughal forces led by Syed Hashim boasted of numerical superiority, which vastly outnumbered the Rajputs. 
  Pratap was riding his trusted horse, Chetak (चेतक), which despite being seriously wounded and utterly exhausted, carried his master till about 2 miles away from the battle, eventually succumbing to its injuries while jumping a nallah (stream). It is said, that Pratap's younger brother Shakti Singh, who until then was fighting on behalf of the Mughal army, followed Pratap until this point, and upon a change of heart, gave him his own horse to escape away because in childhood, Pratap saved shakti singh from MrityuDand/Life Penalty which was given by Rana Udaisingh, the father of Shakti Singh and Pratap Singh itself for misbehaving and not answering valid reasons for doing misbehave.
  The other lesser-known heroes of Haldighati were the Bhil Adivasis of the Aravallis, whose valour, knowledge of terrain and intensive arrow showers made the battle far from one-sided. In recognition of their extraordinary contribution to Rajputana and to protecting these lands, a Bhil stands alongside a Rajput on either side of the Royal Coat of Arms of Mewar. 
  
  The battle of Haldighati has commanded a lasting presence in Rajasthani folklore, and the persona of Pratap Singh, is celebrated in a folk song “O Neele Ghode raa Aswaar”(O Rider of the Blue Horse)

  Dada Lekhraj, a devout man, was contemplating retirement as he was nearing 60, little realising that his life was about to be transformed. One day, while he was sitting in the back hall of his bungalow with a group of fellow disciples of his guru, he had strange spiritual experiences. He recognised these unique inner sensations as the onset of a spiritual encounter, but knew neither their cause nor purpose. Yet there was a sense of heightened perception, a new clarity of mind and vision. A powerful, intuitive grasp of reality was growing in him. He went to his room for solitude. As he sat alone, waves of bliss surged on him. He had gone beyond all consciousness of his body and experienced himself as a point of light, a pure soul afloat in an ocean of bliss. Then he had a vision of the four-armed deity Vishnu.
  
  

       A few days later, Dada received more visions, including a terrifying one of destruction of the modern world.

  
  

       The visions made clear to him his own identity. He saw that the Supreme Soul was a point of light, and His children, the souls, were also tiny sparks of sentient energy.
