Founded in AD 1727 by Sawai Jai Singh II, Jaipur the capital of
Rajasthan is popularly known as the Pink City with broad avenues and
spacious gardens. The capital of Rajasthan, Jaipur is steeped in history
and culture. Here the past comes alive in magnificent forts and palaces,
blushed pink, where once lived the maharajas. The bustling bazaars of
Jaipur, famous for Rajasthani jewellery, fabric and shoes, possess a
timeless quality and are surely a treasure-trove for the shoppers. This
fascinating city with its romantic charm takes you to an epoch of royalty
and tradition.
Once the capital city of the Marwar state, it was
founded in 1459 by Rao Jodhaji - chief of the Rathore Clan of Rajputs who
claimed descent from Lord Rama. A major trade centre of 16th century, the
city, today, has grown to become the second largest city of Rajasthan,
retaining the medieval splendour.
The City Palace is a historic
landmark. The carved arches are supported by grey-white marble columns
studded with floral motifs in gold and colored stones. Two elephants
carved in marble guard the entrance, where retainers whose families have
served generations of rulers are at hand to serve as guides. The palace
interior houses a Museum containing select collection of various types of
Rajasthani dresses, a fascinating armoury of Mughal and Rajput weapons,
swords of all shapes and sizes, with chased handles, some of them inlaid,
enamelled, encrusted with jewels and encased in bold and magnificent
scabbards.
It also has an Art Gallery with a fine collection of
paintings, carpets, royal paraphernalla and rare astronomical works in
Arabic, Persian, Latin and Sanskrit, acquired by Sawai Jai Singh-II for
his study of planets and their movements.
Hawa Mahal, built by
the poet-king Sawai Pratap Singh, the Hawa Mahal is the most strikingly
designed monument in Jaipur. What is seen from the Sireh Deorhi Bazaar is
the multiniched five-storey high backside of the complex. It was conceived
to provide adequate vantage position behind delicate stone-carved jali
screens to the palace women for watching the royal processions passing
through the bazaar below.
Jantar Mantar is one of Jai Singh's
five remarkable observatories. Constructed with stone and marble its
complex instruments whose setting and shapes are precisely and
scientifically designed represent the high-points of Medieval Indian
astronomy. The two Ram Yantras used for gauging altitudes are unique in
their isolation. This is the largest of five observatories founded by
Sawai Jai Singh-II in various parts of the country.
Amber Fort
the ancient capital of the State until 1728. Visit the Jag Mandir or the
Hall of victory glittering with mirrors, Jai Mahal and Temple of Kali.
Ascend on Elephant back, the hill, on which the fort is situated.
Govind Devji Temple The most popular spireless temple of Jaipur
dedicated to Lord Krishna. It is located in the central pavilion of the
Jai Niwas Garden to the north of Chandra Mahal. the image of the patron
deity - Govind Devji, originally installed in a temple of Vrindavan, was
reinstalled here by Sawai Jai Singh II as his family deity.
EXCURSIONS

The beautiful Samode Palace has been rebuilt and renovated and
provides a fine example of the Rajput haveli architecture and is an ideal
spot for outings.

on the Tonk Road. In addition to its ruined palaces, Sanganer has
exquistely carved Jain temples. The town is entered through the ruins of
two tripolias (Triple gateways). The town is an important centre for
crafts industry and produces some of the finest hand printed textiles from
units of block and screen printer. This textile is popular all over the
country and abroad
Nahargarh A sentinel to
the Pink City is Nahargarh Fort, situated beyond the hills of Jaigarh.
Although much of it is in ruins, the lovely building added by Sawai Ram
Singh II and Swai Madho Singh II provides interest to the fort.
FAIRS & FESTIVALS
Teej (July-August) is probably the
best known, and marks the onset of the monsoon. Women in full festive
dresses symbolically play on flower-decorated swings.
