The state of Rajasthan, India, has designated Udaipur as a megacity and external pot in the Udaipur quarter. It’s the executive headquarters of the Udaipur quarter. It’s the major capital of the area of Mewar in the former Rajputana Agency. It was innovated in 1559 by Udai Singh II of the Sisodia clan of Rajputs when he shifted his capital from the megacity of Chittorgarh to Udaipur after Chittorgarh was besieged by Akbar. It remained the capital megacity till 1818 when it came to a British kingly state, and thereafter the Mewar fiefdom came a part of Rajasthan when India gained independence in 1947.
