Udaipur: palaces, hills and lake light

A winter day moving from City Palace to the hills and back to the water.

The day began at City Palace with its museum, courtyards and a pause for pakodas. By evening, the city had opened into a wider story: a cold hike above the lake, then the lights returning along the waterfront.

The photographs move the same way the day did, from architecture and detail to wind, distance and the easy rhythm of Udaipur after dark.
