Stunning Graffitis & beautiful Art around the streets inside the city of lakes Udaipur in Rajasthan, India

Albuquerque comes to my mind when I think about most interesting graffitis I have seen during my travel and if I start comparing the variety & amount of graffitis, Udaipur will certainly be in the list of top cities. There are multiple reasons for that and we shall share more about that in this blogpost. Udaipur city is full of colourful graffitis and they are from different decades & influenced by local artistic culture as well as modern colours. There is a lot to in Udaipur & the street art from this city of Rajasthan. 

Above photograph shows one of the oldest graffitis and that can be inferred from designs, colour combinations. Some of the modern designs on the streets of Udaipur are more vibrant and chemical based colours. Even these graffitis are created in different decades, but still design patterns have lot of similarities.

Most of these graffitis are very meaningful. In above photograph you see 2 security men at the entry gate and both looking inwards to keep an eye on people entering inside. Above one was relatively fresh and at a place where these were standing out clearly on white walls of the building.

Above photograph is clicked outside one of the small temples around streets on Lake Pichola ghats. Horses, Elephants, ladies in colourful dresses & men with pagdi are some of the most common elements of these designs across the streets of Udaipur. 

Graffiti is writing or drawings made on a wall or other surface, usually without permission and within public view. Graffiti ranges from simple written words to elaborate wall paintings and has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and the Roman Empire. In modern times, spray paint and marker pens have become commonly used graffiti materials and there are many different types and styles of graffiti, it is a rapidly developing art form. (That's how Wikipedia defined a Graffiti)

Above graffiti is around Ambrai Ghat of Lake Pichola in Udaipur city of Rajasthan. These are very few of the graffitis from Udaipur and I wish to visit it again to explore more of these graffitis. 

If you liked this post and found it helpful, I would request you to follow these things when traveling - 

1. Manage your waste well and don’t litter. Use dustbins.

2. Tell us if you went to a place and found it hard to locate a dustbin. 

3. Avoid water bottles in hills. Usually you get clean water in hills and water bottles create lot of mess in our ecosystem. In plains, refill your bottles with RO at hotel.  

4. Say big no to plastic and avoid those unhealthy snacks packed in plastic bags. Rather buy fruits. 

5. Don't play loud blaring music in forests or jungle camps. You are a guest in that ecosystem and disturbing the locals (humans and animals) is not polite.
