Dipti Khera Writing Udaipur
As one of the most lovely and mysterious cities on the planet, it’s easy to see why Udaipur has been such a favorite romantic destination for the rich and famous for so many years. There’s a lovely lake that reflects the most exotic city line that anyone’s ever seen, and with palaces that look like they could be in the movies – and they actually are in movie – it’s easy to fall in love here, or to stay in love. There is also a rich and vibrant cultural scene, with many attractions that will keep the young and the young at heart happy. There are, of course, absolutely marvelous five star hotels. Udaipur has a fantastic tradition of hospitality, and knows how to keep visitors coming back.
There is also a rich nightlife, with amazing clubs and discos, where the rich and famous can gaze upon each other, and there’s dancing until the wee hours of the morning. There are also fabulous restaurants, serving mouth-watering creations that speak to the best of Indian and International dining. In your tours of the city, you can enjoy learning about its spectacular history, its fantastic kingdoms of olden days that give the palaces even more exotic flavor. This is, in many ways, the India of the imagination, as it was pictured during the days when anthropologists wore pith helmets. It’s actually extremely fascinating to look at how this image of Udaipur was created, and it’s worthy of close study.
Dipti Khera is a graduate student at Columbia University in New York, and this is one of her areas of interest. Looking at the history of art to find out when Udaipur was becoming this city of dreams, representing an India that could correspond to the imagination of the west, there are many traces to suggest that it has some of its most vivacious roots in travel writing. In this case, the writer is James Tod in the 19th century. But the origins go back much further than that. Khera‘s work is really quite extraordinary, bringing in a number of influences to bear on the creation of art and artistic productions that speak of nationhood in all its complexities.
