In April 1948 Udaipur joined Rajasthan and the Maharana of Udaipur was made Rajpramukh.
Udaipur (“City of Sunrise”) was made the capital of the princely state of Udaipur (Mewar) in 1568 by Maharaja Udai Singh after the sack of Chittaurgarh.
Udaipur princely state was established in the 8th century by Sisodia Rajputs (warrior rulers of the historic region of Rajputana). The dynasty later made a long resistance to the Muslim invasions.
In the 18th century, the state suffered from internal dissension and incursions by the Marathas. It came under British paramountcy in 1818. In 1948 it merged with the union of Rajasthan.
Udaipur is the city of southern Rajasthan state, northwestern India. It lies in the hills just east of the Aravalli Range, about 65 miles (100 km) southwest of Chittaurgarh.
