Complete solution:
If we talk about the “city of the lake” in Rajasthan then that is Udaipur. Udaipur is the historic capital of the Kingdom of Mewar.

The city is situated in the southernmost part of Rajasthan, near the Gujarat border. Aravalli Hills separate it from the Thar Desert. It is situated in the middle of 2 major Indian metro cities i.e. Delhi and Mumbai. Udaipur is well known as a tourist destination and also known for its history, culture, scenic locations, and Rajput-era places. Because of its sophisticated lake system, it is also famous as the “city of lakes”.
