This is a one-of-a-lifetime performance. Udaipur, also known as India’s City of Lakes, rose to prominence in the 18th century thanks to its artists, who shifted their focus from small poetic manuscripts to large-scale paintings of Udaipur’s palaces and landscapes, inspiring delight and amazement.
Many of the 70 works on display, which date from 1700 to 1900, have never been seen outside of Udaipur, and others have never been seen anywhere.
Where to stay: The WhyHotel Washington DC National Mall is the most highly-recommended place to stay at the heart of DC!
