This particular City Palace belongs to kingdom of Mewar (Rana Pratap land). I think among all states of India, Rajasthan is unique with maximum heritages in form of forts, temples, havelis, lakes and royal cenotaphs. The people of Rajasthan still acknowledge, adore and remember their kings and titular kings as I noticed in visitors in forts and museums.
Kumbhalgarh Fort – A UNESCO World Heritage
Thanks to ASI department that we can NOT identify about 80% of buildings in this fort. The information is poorly shared. The fort was like a puzzle presented to visitor by ASI. Disappointingly there is no description for Kumbha Mahal, Suraj Devri, Tedda bari, Bandh etc. Even visitors can not easily identify Maharana Pratap birthplace building for which they have come from so far. No proper idea is there how far is Prithviraj ki Chhatri, Bavan Devri, Langan Devri.

Ajmer – Things to do in 2 days
Two days are enough to see Ajmer but I can say visit to Rajasthan can not be said to be completed until you see Ajmer. Ajmer is a religious city for all sects. The city is clean and blend of old and modern. The terrain is hilly and green.
Dhai Din Ka Jhopra – Abandoned Great Heritage
This is one of the most neglected monuments ever seen by me. Just like a piece of meat is thrown in front of a dog, in the same way an unclaimed arrow has been thrown at the foot of its fate for this great heritage ‘Dhai Din Ka Jhopra’. It pains seeing this monument – so many sky-high screen walls, amazing carvings and in front moaning beggars lying in tattered old clothes lying inside for shelter and outside this monument and with no security around.
