His equally famous horse, Chetak's battle armour has an unusual feature - a fake elephant trunk. This was designed so that in battle the enemy horses would mistake it for an elephant and get intimidated by it, while the enemy elephants would hesitate to attack a baby elephant.
From the City Palace, we visited the Jagdish Temple with its impressive archway and after lunch we saw Lake Fateh Sagar before taking a stroll at the Pratap Smarak. It's a lovely park on a hill with Maharana Pratap's imposing black statue on top and offers a lovely view. Next stop was the beautiful garden Saheliyon ki Bari with its lotus pools and delicate marble cupolas and fountains. |
