ATTRACTIONS & PLACES TO VISIT AND EXPLORE IN JAIPUR
Jaipur, which was created by Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, is known for being India’s first planned city. The capital of Rajasthan, known for its coloured jewels, mixes the attraction of its historic past with all the benefits of a metropolis. The vibrant contemporary city is one of the golden triangle’s three points, along with Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur.
According to legend, the Prince of Wales made a tour stop in India in 1876. The whole city of Jaipur was painted pink by Maharaja Ram Singh because the colour pink was a representation of hospitality. The pink hue that permeates the city is a wonderful sight to see. In front of the forts Nahargarh, Jaigarh, and Garh Ganesh Temple, Jaipur rises magnificently.

CITY PALACE
Located deep within the walled city, the City Palace Complex was conceived and built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the founder of Jaipur. A beautiful fusion of Mughal and Rajput architecture, the palace is still home to the last ruling royal family which lives in a private section of the palace. Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II is credited with building most of the structures, but it was expanded upon by later rulers as well.

HAWA MAHAL
The poet king Sawai Pratap Singh constructed the Hawa Mahal, also known as the Palace of Winds, in 1799 as a summer residence for himself and his family. The women of the royal household may witness daily life there without being seen themselves. The outside of this unusual five-story building, which combines elements of Hindu and Islamic architecture and contains small latticed windows known as jharokhas, is meant to evoke the crown of Lord Krishna. The palace’s windows act as a type of air conditioner, circulating cold air throughout the building and making it the ideal getaway during the heat. Constructed of pink sandstone.

NAHARGARH FORT
An stunning northern background to the city of Jaipur is provided by the Nahargarh Fort, which is boldly perched on a hill of the Aravalli Hills. It was built in 1734, under Jai Singh’s rule, and later enlarged in 1868. Nahargarh, which means “abode of tigers,” was a strong fortress that protected Jaipur from invading foes. The fort contains Madhavendra Bhawan, where the royal family spends their summer vacations. The palace, which was built by Sawai Madho Singh, features 12 identical boudoirs for the queens, with a suite for the king at the top of the building. Corridors that link them all have lovely murals on them. Even now, local picnickers enjoy visiting the castle.

JAIGARH FORT
Jaigarh Fort was constructed by Sawai Jai Singh II sometime in the early 18th century amid the dry, stony, and thorn-scrub filled hills, some 15 kilometres from Jaipur. It still mostly resembles an intimidating fortification despite being an old building. The fort houses Jaiban, the biggest cannon in the whole globe.

GAITORE
The past Maharajas of Jaipur are interred in Gaitore, which is just off the Jaipur-Amber highway. The chhatris (cenotaphs), which are constructed of white marble, exhibit the characteristic Rajput architectural style. The beautifully crafted pillars support the open pavilions with elaborate domes. In the midst of hills made of yellow sandstone stands the crematorium. A chattri’s design and magnificence are supposed to convey the power and majesty of the rulers who inhabit it.

GAITORE
The Phool Mahal, also known as the Flower Hall, is the most extravagant of the palace’s halls based on its name. It is reported that the Maharajas’ pleasure dome is this lovely room. Ahmedabad, Gujarat, supplied the gold that was used to build the Taj Mahal.
