JAIPUR TOURS GUIDE
JAIPUR TOURIST INFORMATION :-
JAIPUR The "pink city" and Rajasthan's colourful
capital, is full of things to see and do.The capital of
Rajasthan was founded by Swai Jai singh 11 in 1727 A.D.
He was not only a great ruler, but also a renowed
mathematician and astrologer. Jaipur is also called as
the first planned city of the country. It was designed
by vidyadhar bhattacharya as per the hindu treatise,
shilp shastra.
There are impressive monuments, an excellent range of
handicrafts, a wide verity of cuisine, and entertainment
that can keep you enthralled for days. In fact, you will
find yourself wanting to extend your holidays. It's a
city that can cast its spell on you from the moment you
arrive.
Highlights of the tour will include famous sights such
as the magnificent Amer palace.
The old capital of JAIPUR The important places to see
are the city palace, Hawa mahak, Rambagh palace, jantar
mantar, central Museum , Dolls Museum, and Laxmi Narayan
Temple etc. Jaipur is also a shopper's paradise, with
its rich treasure of bewitching jewelers.
Jaipur is also a city of contrasts- the new city has
spacious roads alotted with narrow congested streets,
bazars and artisan's quarters. This part of town is a
facinating place to wander around, especially at sunset.
Providing a stunning backdrop to the city are the
ancient forts and palaces which create a dramatic
picture of a bygone era.
PLACES OF ATTRACTIONS / TOURIST ATTRACTIONS IN JAIPUR
AMER FORT (11 KMS.) It was the capital of Kachhwahas for
six centuries before the foundation of Jaipur. Amer,
stands a top a range of craggy hills. The fort is
remarkable as much for the majestic grandeur of its
sourranding as for its sturdy battlements and beautiful
places. It is a fine blend of Hindu and muslim
architecture.
A beautiful complex of places , halls, pavellions,
garden and temples built by Raja Man Singh, Mirza Raja
Jai Singh and Sawai Jai Singh over a period of about two
centuries still stand in magnificent state.
SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS
ELEPHANT RIDE- Ascent to the fort on gaily caprisoned
elephant to various palaces with rooms and stunning
beauty including the World's finest chamber of mirrors
and the temples of Kali.
CITY PALACE The City Palace complex lies at the heart of
the city. Getting in is simpler than it once was. Though
the erstwhile maharaja and his family and close friends
use the triple-arched Tripolia Gate to enter their
section of the palace, most visitors are ushered in
through Atish Pol which is located close to the royal
stables. At the heart of the complex is the seven-tiered
Chandra Mahal where the erstwhile royal family is still
in Residence, though only a small part of the apartments
are occupied. However, it is only the buildings around
Chandra Mahal that are open to the public, and these
also form part of a museum which includes everthing from
grand outfits (including one with 18 kilos of golden
thread woven into it) to swords and two silver urns that
are believed to be the largest silver objects in the
world. The architecture seems to consist of a number of
arched., pillared halls, while courtyards with painted
doorways are a prominent feature.
HAWA MAHAL (The palace of winds )
Located to one side, but a part of the City Palace
complex, Hawa Mahal is best viewed from the street
outside. If it were not for the bustling bazaar all
around, it would have been easy to mistake it for a film
set, so exqusitely is it proportioned, and so
incongruous is its delicacy. Hawa Mahal consists of five
tiers of corridors on the inside, with pierced screen
windows that overlook the street below. It is believed
that women of the royal zenana would sit concealed
behind these screen to see life in the city beyond the
walls of the palace.
JANTAR MANTAR
A stone observatory, part of the City Palace complex,
Jantar Mantar is one of several other astronomical
observatories created by Maharaja Swai Jai singh 11
(others are in delhi, Banars, Ujain). Jai singh 11 had a
passion for astronomy and used astronomical inventions
from different cultures in the creation of these
observatories, the largest of which is in Jaipur.
