Travel To Jaipur India
The Rose Pink City founded by Maharaja Jai Singh II (1693-1743), is the capital of Rajasthan. It is a major attraction for the first-time visitor. Jaipur is surrounded on all sides by rugged hills, crowned with forts & enclosed by embattled walls. Houses with latticed windows line the streets with their rose pink colour, lending enchantment to the scene, which is almost magical at sunset.
The Old City (Known as the Pink City) is a great place to wander around. The whole city was painted in Pink colour by Maharaja Man Singh II when Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, visited Jaipur in 1876 AD. Today, every home within the city is obliged by law to maintain its facade. It is a very well planned city laid out in a grid pattern and was designed by a young Bengali engineer and scholar by the name "Vidyadhar Bhattacharya".
Jaipur was and remains the only city in the world, symbolising the nine divisions of the universe, through nine rectangular sectors sub-dividing it. Jaipur is a royal city & this is its most noticeable aspect, small buildings & festivals testify it.
Jaipur & its surroundings are rather like an endless museum. The city also offers an endless variety of crafts. Jewellers here still fashion the beautiful enamel-on-gold pendants, studded on the reverse with precious stones or pearls & turquoise that one sees in miniature paintings. Jaipur's lacquer bangles are famous all over the world.
Jaipur, the pink city was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Jai Singh II, a Kachhwaha Rajput, who ruled from 1699-1744. Initially his capital was Amber, which lies at a distance of 11kms from Jaipur. He felt the need of shifting his capital city with the increase in population and growing scarcity of water. Jaipur is the first planned city of India and the King took great interest while designing this city of victory. He consulted several books on architecture and architects before making the lay out of Jaipur.
After several battles with Marathas, Jai Singh was keen on the security aspect of the city. Due to this reason, he focused on his scientific and cultural interests to make a brilliant city. Being, a lover of mathematics and science, Jai Singh sought advice from Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, a Brahmin scholar of Bengal, to aid him design the city architecture. Vidyadhar referred the ancient Indian literature on astronomy, books of Ptolemy and Euclid, and discussed the plan with the King.
With a strategic plan, the construction of the city started in 1727. It took around 4 years to complete the major palaces, roads and square. The city was built following the principles of Shilpa Shastra, the Indian Architecture. The city was divided into nine blocks, out of which two consist the state buildings and palaces, whereas the remaining seven blocks were allotted to the public. In order to ensure the security, huge fortification walls were made along with seven strong gates.
According to that time, architecture of the town was very advanced and certainly the best in Indian subcontinent. In 1853, when Prince of Wales visited Jaipur, the whole city was painted in Pink color to welcome him. Still, the neat and broadly laid-out avenues, painted in pink provide a magical charm to the city. Jaipur is rich in its cultural and architectural beauty, which can be traced in the various historical and aesthetic places that reside in the city. This city of victory really wins the hearts of the people with its splendid charisma.

Tours and Attractions in Jaipur
The city Palace
Except for a small portion that is still used by the royal family in Jaipur, the City Palace is now converted in a museum. One of the major attractions of the palace is the portion devoted to arms and ammunition used by the royal family in the past. Other important attractions are the Textile and Costume Museum, Art Gallery, Chandra Mahal, Mubarak Mahal, and Diwan-i-Khas and Diwan-i-Am.
Central Museum
Containing a vast collection of portraits, miniature paintings, costumes and jewellery, the central museum is located in the Ram Vilas Garden. Also called the Albert Hall, the building is an amalgamation of pillars, arches, and courtyards adorned with murals. Huge collections of objects aptly display the colorful and a mystifying history of the state. There are miniature paintings, ivory carvings, costumed mannequins, and shields depicting scenes from the Hindu epics, among others.
Hawa Mahal
This sandstone edifice is not a palace in the actual sense of the word but a series of sandstone screens constructed so that the ladies of the royal household could watch the royal processions without being visible to the outsider. It is named the Palace of the Winds after the many brass wind vanes that adorned it until 1960s. A holiday in Jaipur is never complete without a visit to this incredible heritage monument.
Jantar Mantar
Built by Raja Swai Jai Singh, after whom the city has been named, Jantar Mantar is the largest of the stone observatories in the world. Situated near the gate of the City Palace, the observatory has 18 large instruments, many of them still in working condition.
Amber Fort
Amber Fort reflects the glorious past of the fierce Kachwaha dynasty that ruled over Jaipur from 18th century. Constructed for defense purposes, the rugged exteriors belie the visual paradise, which constitute the interiors. Painted scenes of hunting and wars adorn the walls along with precious stones set in plaster. The fort gives a majestic view of the surrounding valley. In the foreground is the Maota Lake with breathtaking reflections of the magnificent Amber-fort palace. For an experience, which is truly royalty, the visitor can reach the fort through snaking pathways on elephant back.
