Jaipur
Jaipur is 260 km from Delhi and forms the most chosen tourism golden triangle
of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. It a bustling capital city and a business centre
with all the trapping of modern metropolis but yet flavoured strongly with an
age-old charm that never fails to surprise a traveller. The old Jaipur painted
in Pink can grip any visitor with admiration. Stunning backdrop of ancient forts
Nahargarh, Amer, Jagarh and Moti Dungri are dramatic testimonials of the bygone
era and a reminder of their lingering romance.
Moreover in the early seventh century the power of the great Mughals was dwindling
with its aging Monarch Aurangzeb and after several centuries of invasions the
north was now quite and the wealth of the kingdom had become greater than before.
Seizing upon this opportune time Jai Singh planned his new capital in the planes.
Jaipur is a corroborative effort of Sawai Jai Singh's strong grounding in sciences
and astrology and a Bengali architect Vidyadhar with a strong instinct for planning.
The colourful and intricately carved monuments are adequately matched by the
lively spirit of fanfare, festivity and celebration of the people. Even today,
one can find weather beaten faces with huge coloufrul trurbans, fierce moustaches
and lips that spontaneouslya crease into a heart warming smile.
A city like Jaipur, where modernity and tradition live hand-in-hand, is truly
rare. Perhaps this is what makes it an attractive destination for tourists who
flock to Jaipur , year after year.
Jaipur is the pristine jewel in the desert sands of Rajasthan, settled in the
rugged hills of the Aravalli.
