Jaipur: is also known as the Pink City. This dates back to 1905, when Jaipur city was preparing to welcome the Prince of Wales and needed a fresh coat of paint. However, the contractor wasn’t able to provide any other colour than pink and so Jaipur was washed in a pink shade. Hawa Mahal: was essentially used as a veil by the female members of the royal family to watch the proceedings on the road below. This five-storey building overlooking the busy bazaar street is a striking example of Rajput architecture and artistry with its 953 pink, delicately honeycombed, sandstone windows. Albert Hall: is located just outside the walled city in the sprawling Ram Niwas garden. It is a very well maintained and imposing building displaying a fine collection of paintings, carpet, ivory, stone and metal sculptures as well as colourful crystal works. It combines elements of English and north Indian architecture. Moti Dungri and Ganesh Temple: can be found in the middle of Jaipur. There is also an exotic palace which is perched atop of the Moti Dungri hill and is a replica of a Scottish castle once occupied by Maharaja Madho Singh’s son. The highlight however is the famous and auspicious temple of Lord Ganesh, which is popular with locals. Jantar Mantar: was built in 1718 by Sawai Jai Singh. The observatory is one of five observatories that were built by the king and was built to study the movement of stars. The attractive building is made of stone and marble. |
