Jaipur is 260 km from Delhi and 240 km from Agra 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.
Settled in the rugged hills of the Aravallis, Jaipur
is the pristine jewel in the desert sands of Rajasthan.
Jaipur is as remarkable for its marvellous architecture
and town planning as it is for the lively spirit of
the people who inhabit it. The city presents a unique
synthesis of culture that has to be experienced in order
to be appreciated.
With its origin buried deep into the pages of history,
the city still exudes a magical old world charm; an
aroma of chivalry and romance is evident, despit having
evolved into a city that is the hub of modern commercial
activity in the region. Tell-tale signs of the glorious
past and regal splendour of the city lie strewn across
with gay abandon
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 named after its founder the warrior and astronomer
sovereign Sawai Jai Singh II (ruled 1688 to 1744). The
decision to move out of his hilltop capital Amer was
also compelled by reasons of growing population and
paucity of water.
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.
