Eklingi & Nagada
The interesting little village of Eklingi, with a number of ancient
temples, is only 22 km and a short bus ride north of Udaipur. The
Shiva temple in the village itself was originally built in 734, although
its present form dates from the rule of Maharana Raimal between 1473 and
1509. The walled complex includes an elaborately pillared hall under a
large pyramidal roof and features a four- faced Siva image of black
marble. The temple is open at rather odd hours-5 to 7 am, 10 am to 1 pm
and 5 to 7 pm.
At Nagada, about a km off the road and a km before Eklingi, are three
old temples. The Jain temple of Adbudji is essentially ruined, but
its architecture is interesting and it’s very old. The nearby Sas Bahu,
or Mother and Daughter-in-Law, group has very fine and intricate
architecture and carvings, including some erotic figures. You can reach
these temples most conveniently by hiring a bicycle in Eklingi itself.
Lake Pichola
 The beautiful Lake Pichola was enlarged by Maharana Udai Singh after
he founded the city. He built a masonry dam, known as the Badi Pol, and
the lake is now four km in length and three km wide. Nevertheless, it
remains fairly shallow and can actually dry up in severe droughts. At
these times, you can walk to the island palaces from the shore.
Fortunately, this doesn’t happen often. The City Palace extends a
considerable distance along the east bank of the lake. South of the
palace, a pleasant gardens runs down to the lake. North of the palace, you
can wander along the lake, where there are some interesting bathing and
dhobi (laundry) ghats.
Out in the lake are two islands- Jagniwas and Jagmandir. Boat
rides, which leave regularly from the City Palace jetty (known as Bansi
Ghat), are pleasant but expansive.
At Udaipur take a boat trip over Lake Pichhola at sunset. Optional dinner
at Shiv Niwas Palace.
