120 kms from Udaipur, Dungarpur, the city of hills, is a picturesque town set amidst the rugged peaks of the Aravalli hills. Founded in early 13th century by Rana Dungar Singh.
Most of the palaces and other monuments are well preserved and are well worthy of a visit. The Baneshwar fair held every year (january-february) is a religious festival with simple traditional rituals. Other interesting visit-worthy places of the region are Ambika durga temple, Jai Samudra lake and Chavand. Dungar is ideal for taking excursions to nearby places like Baneshwar, Arthuna, Kesariyaji, Sitamata wildlife sanctuary and Jaisamand. |
