The city was founded in 1567 by Maharana Udai Singh on the advice of a sage. Udaipur was the last capital out of the numerous Mewar capitals. It was in Udaipur that legendary Maharana Pratap was born. He was obsessed with Chittaur and the past glories of the Sisodia clan pre-occupied his mind. Maharana Pratap left Udaipur to win back Chittaur from the Mughals. But he failed in his attempts and Udaipur remained the capital of Mewar till India got independence. The memory of the failure of noble Pratap gives Udaipur its pervading mood of nostalgic wistfulness.
