A few days back I came across an album on my facebook community page AmazingUdaipur. This album was unique, it had some very beautiful and classic pictures of Udaipur. I also had about 140+ such pictures which one of my friends gave me. So, I thought why not share best of these pictures on UT. All the pictures date between 1800-1900 AD.
Sadly, I don’t know the name of the owner of these pictures. But, yes I am thankful to the person who kept these photographs safe with him/her. Neither I nor UT claim the ownership of these pictures.
Instead, our aim is to preserve these pictures in a digital format for years. I request you not to use these pictures for commercial purposes or claim as your property. To prevent misuse/commercial use I am sharing these pictures in a lower resolution. Hope you like these and cherish the memories of the stories your grand parents used to tell.
If you also have pictures of Udaipur’s Golden Era you can mail us at udaipurtimes@gmail.com we will share them here.

Thanks for sharing Puneet 🙂

Wonderfull Pictures, Feeling Like awsome….. it was so beautifull….those mud huts just below the palace….missing udaipur.
You need to take the photos of the same scene today, so we can compare and keep a record for next 50 years.
THANKS PUNEET
I WILL PIONT OUT THE STATUE IN FRONT SARASWATI LIBRARY (VICTORIA LIBRARY) IS OF QUEEN VICTORIA.IN SIXTIES I SAW IT LYING IN THE CORRIDOR OF THE LIBRARY AND LATER SOME ONE MADE GOOD WITH IT(FOR PROFIT).
THANKS FOR YOUR DIWALI GIFT
AMAR
Yes, I noticed it and am glad that you pointed it out. I hope that others noticed this as well. Now, there is a statue of our Father of the Nation. And, I guess Sarawasti Library was initially named after Queen Victoria. I am not quite sure but I think I read it somewhere.
THANK YOU PUNEET.
awesome collection.. just loved it..!!
Please provide a link to download these wonderful pics at a time .
Thanks in advance.
will try to do that as well. 🙂
Wow!! Wow again!!!
Nice to see our udyapur (UDAIPUR) city , in His Golden Time
Udaipur is always beautiful .Nice collection
Stunning photographs. Thanks Puneet for such a treat. I’m very fascinated by what familiar,crowded places looked like in the older years. Suraj Pole, Hathi Pole, Chetak in their black and white era! Wonderful!
After seeing all these pics, the heart says only one thing…
Udaipur was beautiful earlier and is a mess now. Nothing have changed in aspect of looks of FS, SS, US, DT, P, SP, DG, HP, etc. Just the traffic has increased and the city has become crowded, else all the tourist destinations are same as they were before 200 yrs.
Amazing and wonderful, it shows our golden period of Udaipur, our land. many of the places and not changed till date. they as as such as they were from build.
lot of thanks and blessing to the one who published these rare blessings
Thanks Manish for all your kind wishes and blessings 🙂
Great
thanx for providing awesome pics.
dat is jst amazin….dat is vry own unsen udr….
How about then and now?
well, then the length would have doubled..!!! So, I dropped the idea of now and then. 🙂
Katro badli gyho Mharo Udaipur !! 🙂
Very nice. I will show this to my father who witnessed udaipur around 1950s. I am sure it will remind him old days.
Many thanks Garima, for bringing Udaipur in my room. much delighted.
Regards to family.

LAKE FATEH SAGAR WAS NAMED AFTER LORD CONNAUGHT, THE SON OF QUEEN VICTORIA ( INTERESTING INDEED) AND THERE WAS LANSDOWN HOSPITAL WHICH IS NOW AYURVED DISPENSARY SITUATED AS WE CLIMB THE MOTICHOTTAH 500 METERS FROM HATIPOLE TOWARD GHANTA GHAR.SOME ONE CAN PICTURE THE CLASSICAL PLACE. ADD TO THE RICH HISTORY.
helo sir…could u plz tell me more heritage properties f udpr if u know n sir what is the name history of palace seen in pic “OverflowofthePicholaLakeSwaroopSagarYear1910” above???
I wish I could have a time machine…
HI PUNEET, I HAVE ALSO GOOD COLLECTION OF UDR PICS. HOW SHOULD I GIVE IT TO YOU
Hey buddy.. you can mail us the pics at udaipurtimes@gmail.com 🙂
Chirag just send them to Puneet so that we can all satisfy ourselves with beautiful memories.
just an awesome collection…………………………… wow! Too good to seee udaipur like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beutiful udaipur. udaipur is the best city in india
Cant thank you more for the pics! gr8 work..keep it up!
Dear Puneet,
nice collection of udaipur, if you have more pictures kindly upload.
Splendid Pictures!!
why u gave ur photo !!!!!!!
Its really awesome, but i still believe that some of the photos doesnt have the right notifications, for eg chetak circle says 1955, at the background it says moonlight drycleaners and a cocacola hoarding….i cannot digest that.
Also hathipole says 1951, see the row of bicycles at the back do you believe that many bicycles were there, during the 1960’s beyond Ghanta gar and down the lane toards hathipole it was all jungle people used to go for their nature calls….
Nevertheless, Awesome .
nice collection…
Great Collection…………………………….!
Loved it..
aaj ki jeneretion ke waste adbhud &jananan jaruri i am very galad see this wondarfull photo very very thankig and hoap othre ratashtha histrical citys phpto also want to see thanq thank
good collection but 1955 there was telephone presented or not
wonderful photos……
Udaipur… heaven in those times…and heaven in the present time…
exellent work
Mind blowing!!!
what’s the best part is that most of the places are still the same but usually lost their aroma but its a real treat to see.
Dear Puneet,
Brilliant. Awesome collection. Could not take my eyes off until I went through the complete collection. “Udaipur” is after all “Udaipur” and people just for no reason call it “Venice of East”.
Look at Suraj Pole pics, how awesome, beautiful and spacious……
supurb collection……..!!!!!!!!
wowwwww now that is what i call a classic collection , loved it from bottom of my heart
Unbelievable Photos…really b’ful.Could not believe my eyes. Thanks for sharing..
शायद ये तस्वीरें श्रीमाल फोटो स्टूडियो की हैं , पर पक्का नहीं कह सकता . इस खजाने के लिए धन्यवाद !
@अमर ,पुनीत ,
इस ( सरस्वती पुस्तकालय ) का पहले नाम विक्टोरिया हॉल लाइब्रेरी था . यह क्वीन विक्टोरिया के निधन के बाद (१९ वीं सदी के बिलकुल आरम्भ में ) बनवाई गयी थी.कोलकाता का विक्टोरिया मेमोरियल भी तभी बना था . और हाँ , यह अभी भी पुस्तकालय के अंदर रखी है . 🙂 हाँ थोड़ी क्षतिग्रस्त जरूर हो गयी है जो शायद तब हुआ था जब ४२’ में इसे हटाने के लिए आये आंदोलनकारियों ने इसे गिरा दिया था .
Thanks Himanshu for adding more info.
Pls provide a link to download all these pics..
wow nice pic
Amazing collection, magnificent album.
The pictures give a nostalgic sensation.
I could only say WOW!! These photographs took me back in to my childhood days while I was studying at MMPS. Many pictures are of places close to school like Tripoliya, Jagdish Mandir, City Palace and the Lake Pichhola. It was truly awesome to see these pics and enjoy them.
I just wished the time stands still!!! Whoever had done this job of posting these pics on UT – Hats off to you! Tremendous job. Keep posting new pics. Though I am in South-Central Africa now but when I go back to Udaipur, I will definitely try to find out some pics that I can upload.

Hi Puneet,

Thanks.
Nice collection. Guys keep it up……
wah.what a collection. thanks a lot
Hey its wonderful awesome i like to see old udaipur pics……………………..
बहुत खूबसूरत तस्वीरें. पुरानी तमाम यादें ताज़ा हो गईं. मुझे खास तौर पर घण्टा घर और हाथी पोल की तस्वीरें मोहक लगीं. इसलिए कि अब ये जगहें बिल्कुल बदल गई हैं. मेरी यादें उस पुराने स्वरूप से ही जुड़ी हुई हैं. एक बात और कहना चाहूंगा. इनमें से ज़्यादातर तस्वीरें राजमह्लों या राजाओं की निर्मितियों से सम्बद्ध हैं. अब कुछ तस्वीरें ऐसी भे एजोड़िये जिनका सम्बन्ध उदयपुर के आम लोगों के जीवन से हो.
wooow amazing maja agaya
my grate udaipur i love it

Simply Awesome!!!
Its quite a good old feeling to look at Udaipur. same structures, different lifestyle.
Same old Hati pole in 1960. There was a book shop i remember Udaipur book store.
It is connected with our childhood. That time we dont have enough money to buy a book.
Simply supereb collection. Just like going in old days. please add some other pictures of udaipur streets also.
Awesome collection…………..! I must thank you for publishing the rare and the oldest photos here.
MIND BLOWING
I left udaipur in 1969 and these pictures reminded me of my years spent in my birth place till 1969. Filled me with nostalgia. What a place it was. Although Udaipur is still beautiful, but during those days it was heaven on earth. I miss Udaipur of those days- green, cool, clean and on top of it very friendly and cultured. Many of those things I do not see now whenever I come there, but I still love the place…….Thanks for sharing these priceless pictures.
ur pics reminded me a song … a beautiful song … tu jaha jaha chalega mera saiya saath hoga
……. i hav made my mind .. i ll also explore udaipur
We are Glad to u for Uploading this awesomeeee Photograph we live in udaipur & we love Udaipur
