Udaipur These Days

It has been long i wrote .. Maybe am Busy in My Life..

Anyways … Let me Update you About Udaipur..

After so long wait Udaipur Got a Taste of Good Rain in within 2-3 days..

Bageri ka Naka Finally Overflowed and Brought a peace to Thirsty hearts of Udaipies(Udaipur Citizens). This Sunday was All Fun for people at Nandeshwar , Ubeshwar, Alsigarh and Bageri Ka Naka…!!

Updating you More About the Rain And Lakes in Udaipur is that.

Pichola -> (-)3.1Feet  Water Adoption Level – 11 Feet

Fatehsagar -> (-15.2)Feet Water Adoption Level – 13 Feet

Badi -> (-)22.7Feet Water Adoption Level – 32Feet

The Main Source for Water in Pichola is River Sisarma which is getting water in The Lake. But Fatehsagar  yet awaits as their is Lack of Rain in the Region of Lake That Brings water to Udaipur (Chota Madar, Bada Madar).

Lets hope that soon the Chotta Madar and Bada Madar also gets filled and The Water starts coming into Lake Fatehsagar.

That was all about the Lakes. Now Updating you More about the city.

MLSU university Election to be Conducted soon. Publicity of the Contenders is now also done on Social Networking Sites and Via Mobile. 🙂 Hope they Have Good Person to Lead their Voice.

Also the Bapu Bazar that is flooded with water everytime due to Light rains also is now getting renovation on the road edges to avoid the concentration of Water. We Hope it works Well.

By The Way(BTW) today is Birthday of Dr. C.P. Joshi (Central Rural Development Minister). May he keep up his Good Work and Live Long Life.

Udaipur City Bits

Udaipur Today on 15-July-2010 after so many cloudy morning today we got to view the bloom of the sun this morning. But till the noon the atmosphere started to change and finally huge black clouds took over the vast sky of Udaipur City.

And it started to rain around 3.30pm. rain started from North of the City and moved towards west. It rained quite well for 15-30min. accompanied with Wind, in every region of the Udaipur City. As usual the pits got filled with water and it was water water everywhere.

Finally, We enjoyed the evening at Fatehsagar Lake Moving from Hiran Magri – Durga Nursery – SurajPole – Bapu Bazar – DelhiGate – FatehSagar.

Got to see that today. Traffic police were not behind the regular citizen drivers rather they were behind the Autos(Public Transport) Vehicles. Maybe the day was for for them reason maybe overloading of tempos or not wearing proper driver uniform or License.

Maharana Pratap Jayanti

maharana pratap UdaipurBlog

We Belong from the Land Of Warriors – ‘Udaipur’ – The Capital of Mewar and today we celebrate the Glory of Freedom, Independence in the form of Maharana Pratap Jayanti. Pratap (The Son of Maharana Udai Singh II) the Legendary Hero of Mewar who fought for Freedom till his Last Breath. Due to his Effort Mewar was the Only Independent Land free from Invaders all around the World. It is a well known fact that Mewar was the Only free state from the Great Mughal Badhshah Akhbar and Britishers.

Maharana Pratap Jayanti is Celebrated every year on Shukla Thritiya of the Ashad month (May or June). This Year (2010)  it is on 15th June.

About Maharana Pratap:

Maharana Pratap (May 9, 1540 – January 29, 1597) was 16th century King who ruled Mewar, a state in north-western India. He was born on 9th May 1540 in Kumbhalgarh, Rajasthan. His father was Maharana Udai Singh II and mother was Rani Jeevant Kanwa. He was the eldest among 25 brothers and 20 sisters and was the 54th ruler of Mewar. He belonged to the Sisodiya Rajput clan.

From childhood Rana Pratap had the passion that a Kshatriya king needs to possess. In 1568, when Maharana was just 27 years old, the Mughal emperor Akbar conquered Chittor. Maharana Udai Singh, his father decided to leave Chittor and moved to Gogunda. Seeing this as opportunity, his half brother Jagmal took away the throne. When Jagmal was unable to manage affairs he joined the army of Akbar with an idea to take revenge with Maharana Pratap.

Maharana faced many struggles in his career. He kept on fighting with Akbar all his life. Akbar tried several ways to win over Maharana Pratap but he was always a failure. Maharana could not forget when Akbar killed 30,000 unarmed residents of Chittor only because they refused to convert to Islam. This made Maharana revolt against Akbar and he followed strict codes of Kshatriyas to fight with Akbar.

Battle of Haldighati

Battle Of HaldiGhati - UdaipurBlog

On June 21, 1576 (June 18 by other calculations), the two armies met at Haldighati, near the town of Gogunda in present-day Rajasthan. While accounts vary as to the exact strength of the two armies, all sources concur that the Mughal forces greatly outnumbered Pratap’s men (1:4). The battle of Haldighati, a historic event in the annals of Rajputana, lasted only four hours. In this short period, Pratap’s men essayed many brave exploits on the field. Folklore has it that Pratap personally attacked Man Singh: his horse Chetak placed its front feet on the trunk of Man Singh’s elephant and Pratap threw his lance; Man Singh ducked, and the mahout was killed.

However, the numerical superiority of the Mughal army and their artillery began to tell. Seeing that the battle was lost, Pratap’s generals prevailed upon him to flee the field ( so as to be able to fight another day. Myths indicate that to facilitate Pratap’s escape, one of his lieutenants, a member of the Jhala clan, donned Pratap’s distinctive garments and took his place in the battlefield. He was soon killed. Meanwhile, riding his trusty steed Chetak, Pratap made good his escape to the hills.

But Chetak was critically wounded on his left thigh by a Mardana (Elephant Trunk Sword) while Pratap had attempted to nail down Man Singh. Chetak was bleeding heavily and he collapsed after jumping over a small brook few kilometres away from the battle field. When Pratap’s general donned Pratap’s clothing and armour, it went unnoticed, thanks to the chaos of the war, but for two Turk knights from the Mughal army. They could not communicate it with others in their group, due to the linguistic barrier (the appropriate language would have been Persian, Marwari or Arabi, given the composition of the Mughal army). They immediately followed Pratap without wasting time. The moment they started chasing him, Pratap’s younger brother Shaktisingh, who was fighting from the Mughal side, (he had some disputes with Pratap at the time of Pratap’s coronation; hence he had defected and gone over to Akbar’s court) realized that his own brother was under threat. Pratap’s general’s sacrifice had already been discovered by him. He could not help but react against a threat to his own brother. He followed the Turks, engaged them in single combat and killed them. In the meanwhile, Chetak collapsed and Pratap saw his brother Shaktisingh killing the two Mughal riders. Saddened by the loss of his beloved general and horse, he embraced his brother and broke into tears. Shaktisingh also cried and asked for his brother’s pardon, for having fought as his enemy. Pratap pardoned him (later on he was given a huge estate near Chittor). Shaktisingh then offered him his own horse and requested him to get to a safe place. This incident is famous in Rajasthani folklore, a song “O Neele Ghode re Aswar” (O Rider of the Blue Horse) mentions it.

A mausoleum to Chetak is at the site of the steed’s death.

The impact of the battle on the Mughal army was also significant. In terms of numbers the Mughal army suffered heavier losses. This was also because of the intensive arrow showers by the Bhil tribes of the surrounding mountains who had sided with Pratap. To honour their contribution, a Bhil warrior was placed next to Pratap in the Royal Coat of Arms of Mewar.

The battle of Haldighat is considered to be the first Major breakthrough of Rajputs against the Mughals since the Second Battle of Khanwa in 1527, which was fought between Rana Sanga grandfather of Maharana Pratap, and the Mughal Babur grandfather of Akbar. It is regarded with a degree of significance by many Rajput families.

Moti Magri (Udaipur):

Moti Magri Smarak  - UdaipurBlogAn impressive bronze statue of Maharana Pratap and his favorite and loyal horse, who fiercely protected his master and stood by him till his last breath, stands at the top of Moti Magri, overlooking Fateh Sagar. Local habitants climb the hill to pay homage to Maharana Pratap and his faithful horse Chetak, who were killed in the battle of Haldighati. Also there are the ruins of one of the first modest palaces of Udaipur and also a charming Japanese rock garden. The Memorial has the first Light & Sound program in Rajasthan, that displays the glorious 1400 years of Mewar’s history. All these are highly decorated with lights during the Maharana Pratap Festival. People from across the world come to visit the place.

Incident: Are We Eating Safe?

Dosa Cockroach Udaipur

(This Is An Edited(Fake) Picture Just to Sarcasm the state of the Incident in a Famous Restaurant. The topic states about an Incident that took place in our City not about the picture. )

Incident To Discuss About: Cockroach in Dosa

Recently a week ago A Cockroach was found in a Dosa  in one of  our City’s finest South Indian Café in Anand plaza(I Hope You can Guess The Name !). A Family ordered the Dosa and while eating found out that there was a cockroach inside the Dosa.

If this is the condition of a well known restaurant which is very famous for South Indian Food then what would be the condition of the other restaurants. But this raises a serious question that Are We Really Eating Safe?

Recently Food Inspection was also done to check the quality of food been served in restaurants, but nothing was been found. So we do not have much to conclude rather than saying that Our Health is in our Hands and We have to take Care of it.
