The clash at Udaipur City Palace stems from a feud between Mahendra Singh Mewar, the father of BJP MLA Vishvaraj Singh, and his estranged brother Arvind Singh Mewar. Arvind, who manages Eklingnath temple and the palace, issued a notice against Vishvaraj's planned visit after the latter was named the new 'Maharana' of Mewar. Arvind warned of legal action for trespass.
