Situation tense outside Udaipur palace after Vishvaraj Singh denied entry over royal family feud

His anointment at a ceremony in Chittorgarh fort followed the death of his father, Mahendra Singh Mewar, earlier this month.

Heavy police presence surrounded Udaipur's City Palace as tensions escalated, with reports of stones being allegedly thrown from inside. Police personnel were on high alert and notices from Arvind Singh warned of legal action against trespassing.

The dispute stems from a long-standing feud between Vishvaraj Singh’s father, Mahendra Singh Mewar, and his estranged brother, Arvind Singh Mewar, both descendants of Rajput king Maharana Pratap. Arvind Singh currently manages the City Palace and the Eklingnath temple, which added fuel to the conflict.
