After spending seven days in and around historic city of Jodhpur, Madonna Sunday landed in Udaipur, a city of majestic palaces and beautiful lakes in Rajasthan. "She came early in the morning at around 11.30 a.m. and straight away drove to Hotel Udai Vilas," informed sources told IANS.

Adorning the banks of Lake Pichola and standing witness to the historic City Palace, The Oberoi Udai Vilas captures all the romance and splendour of a royal era...

She has liked Rajasthan so much that she has extended her stay in the state by two more days.
