Udaipur, often referred to as the "City of Lakes" and the "Venice of the East," is a captivating destination nestled in the heart of Rajasthan, India. Renowned for its majestic architecture, scenic landscapes, and rich cultural heritage, Udaipur is a jewel in the crown of the royal state. To bring new ideas to this tourist hotspot, the city's administration formed a committee with suggestions from Mayor GS Tank and Deputy Mayor Paras Singhvi. This team includes historians like Dr. Vivek Bhatnagar, Dr. Dev Kothari, and Dr. Rajendra Purohit. 

These experts are working together to gather real facts about how Udaipur's historical sites got their names. They aim to understand the stories behind these landmarks and share the authentic information with everyone. 

The Municipal Corporation plans to record historical facts and local traditions associated with these areas to answer the inquiries from the millions of tourists who visit the city each year. This information will be inscribed on signboards strategically placed in the respective streets.
