The Jagdish Temple is the largest temple in Udaipur. The walls and exterior decoration of the temple are carved with very fine carvings. It is located 150 meters north of the entrance to the City Palace. It was built in 1651 by Maharaja Jagat Singh. Inside the temple is enshrined a black stone statue of Lord Krishna in the form of Jagannath, the god of the universe; on the altar in front of the temple there is a bronze statue of Garuda (Vishnu's half-human, half-bird mount). There are also several elephant sculptures on both sides of the steps of the temple. People who come to visit here seem to be influenced by these carvings, everyone is so serious, and everything here is awe-inspiring. It is also a good experience to come over and feel this solemnity after visiting the city palace.

Udaipur, India, the most beautiful city palace
Udaipur is also known as the White City. Because the city is built around Lake Pichu, it is also called the Venice of the East.
The city is leisurely and romantic. The biggest feature of Baicheng is that the residential areas are mainly white in color, and people are keen on graffiti on white walls. Therefore, when you walk in Baicheng, you can see graffiti about faith everywhere.
