Udaipur gets facelift ahead of G20 Sherpa meet next week; what’s the plan ?
What is the Sherpa Meeting ?
- From painting the walls with murals depicting Indian culture to decking up heritage sites with lights to cleaning up the lakes, various departments are at work simultaneously to host the Dec 5–7 event
- The G20 Sherpa Meeting will likely be held at the Darbar Hall in the Udaipur City Palace. The delegates will be accommodated at Fateh Prakash Palace, Hotel Udai Vilas, and Leela Palace. The royal dinner is likely to be held at Jag Mandir, where the delegates will get a taste of Indian delicacies as well as cuisine of the member countries. The menu, however, has not been finalised yet.
A senior security official said tight security arrangements will be in place during the event, and Z-plus security cover will be provided to the delegates, who will arrive on December 4. Cultural performances will also be held at the City Palace and Jagmandir, according to official sources.
On December 7, the delegates will likely visit the 15th-century Kumbhalgarh Fort in Rajsamand. From there, they will head to Ranakpur temple in Pali — one of the most brilliant architectural monuments in the country.
“The delegates will get a feel of Indian culture with a special touch of Rajasthan. The entire city is being decorated and beautified.” — Shikha Saxena, deputy director of Regional Tourism Office, Udaipur
“The delegates will get a glimpse of rural life at Shilpgram (at the West Zone Cultural Centre). Attractive cultural performances will be the highlight of the hospitality,” she said. Murals have been painted on walls in various parts of the city.
The G20 or Group of 20 is an intergovernmental forum comprising Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, the UK, the US, and the European Union (EU).
India will hold the G20 Presidency from December 1, 2022, and convene the G20 Leaders’ Summit for the first time in 2023. India, as a host nation, will set the agenda of the G20 Summit to be held in September 2023 in New Delhi.
