Udaipur is a city built around a lake. It was used in the making of the James Bond film Octopussy.
This picture was taken from the Monsoon Palace high on the hill overlooking the city - the palace was used as Kamal Khan's home in the film.
The main City Palace complex is now a combination of museum and luxury hotels, still owned by the current Maharaja.
The famous Lake Palace is also now a hotel, reputedly one of the most romantic (and most expensive)
in the world.
A typical scene in one of the narrow streets behind the City Palace, complete with elephant wandering through.
Udaipur looks beautiful at night, when all the palaces are lit, and the dirtier streets are not so visible.
