Which Mewar ruler founded the city of Udaipur after leaving Chittorgarh?

Explanation

Maharana Udai Singh II is the required answer because he is identified with the founding of Udaipur as Mewar's new capital. He founded the city in 1559 CE and later made it the new capital of Mewar. Rajasthan Tourism supports the same substantive link: it describes Udaipur as founded by Maharana Udai Singh II as the new capital of the Mewar Kingdom, while giving the year as 1553. The point being tested is therefore not a generic association with Mewar, but the specific transfer of political centre from the Chittorgarh-linked Mewar memory to Udaipur under Udai Singh II.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Maharana Raj Singh is not identified as the ruler who founded Udaipur as Mewar's new capital.
• (B) Maharana Pratap belongs to Mewar history, but the founding of Udaipur is attributed here to Maharana Udai Singh II, not to Pratap.
• (D) Rana Kumbha is another Mewar ruler, but Maharana Udai Singh II is named as Udaipur's founder.

Concept

This tests the RAS Rajasthan History theme of Mewar's political centres and ruler-city associations. Such questions recur because forts, capitals and ruling houses are high-yield anchors for Rajasthan's medieval history and culture.
