 The
Picturesque capital of Rajasthan , Jaipur is colour
washed Pink – the colour associated with
hospitality in Rajput culture . Built in 1727 A.D
by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh – II , Jaipur displays a remarkable
harmony and architectural Splendour . The Ancient heart of athe Pink City
Still beats in its fairy – tale palaces . rugged
fortresses perched on barren hills and
boad avenues that dot the entire city . The only planned city of
its time , Jaipur is encircled by a formidable wall . A
young Bengali ( Man From West
Bengal ) architect , Vidyadhar Bhattacharya formalized the city’s plans
in a grid system . The wide
straiht avenues ,roads , streets lanes and uniform rows of shops
on either side of main bazaars were arranged in nine rectangular
“city sectors” ( Chokris ) in accordance
with the principles of
town planning set down
in the “Shilpa
Shastra “ ( book on architect ) an epochal treatise on the Hindu
architecture .
There
is a time less appeal to Jaipur’s colorful bazaars
where one can shop for Rajasthani monuments and marvelous heritage
hotels , once the residence of Maharaja’s
are worth admiration . Not to mention the ambling camels and cheerful
people in multi- hued costumes that makes
your trip to the pink city a memorable one !!!
