Foreigner Praises Udaipur as India's Most Beautiful City
A man named Rory Porter from another country really likes Udaipur in India.
He thinks it's the most beautiful city in India and doesn't understand why it's not more famous.
Udaipur is known as the Venice of the East and has a palace on an island in a lake.
It was founded a long time ago by a king and was never fully taken over by the Mughals.
People on the internet agree with him and say it's even better than Venice.
They also talk about how much they enjoyed visiting the city and its castles, trying local food, and visiting temples.
Rory Porter, a foreign national, called Udaipur the most beautiful city in India.
Udaipur is known as the Venice of the East and the City of Lakes.
The city was founded in 1559 by Maharana Udai Singh II and was the capital of the historic kingdom of Mewar.
Udaipur was never fully captured by the Mughals, and the ruling family still manages several palaces and heritage properties.
A video of Porter's praise for Udaipur has gone viral, garnering over 1.3 lakh views and positive comments from social media users.
