Rajasthan's Legislative Assembly situated at Jaipur during festival season

Jaipur also known as 'the Pink City,' is the capital of Rajasthan in India.

Understand
Jaipur is the largest city in Rajasthan and was built in the eighteenth century by Sawai
Jai Singh as India's first planned city. Although Jaipur serves mainly as a stepping stone
for travelers heading to the desert cities of Jodhpur and Jaisalmer, it is not without its
own attractions, such as several massive Rajput forts. So, despite the chaos and dust, it is
definitely worth pausing here for several days. Now Jaipur is growing fast and various
development projects are being done by the government & private enterprises.

Jaipur is often called the Pink City in reference to its distinctly colored buildings, which
were originally painted this color to imitate the red sandstone architecture of Mughal
cities. The present earthy red color originates from repainting of the buildings undertaken
for a visit by the Prince of Wales in 1876.

Get in
By plane

Jaipur Airport (JAI/VIJP) is situated in the satellite town of Sanganer and offers sporadic
(chartered) service to London and Dublin. Flights to Singapore and Bangkok are
available via Delhi. Direct flights to Sharjah, Muscat and Dubai are also available.

Jaipur also has daily domestic air links with many Indian cities such as Jodhpur,
Udaipur, Aurangabad, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Goa, Chennai, Ahmedabad,
Bangalore, Mumbai and Indore.

By train

Indian Railways[2] connects Jaipur from all over the country and is one of the cheapest
options. A number of daily trains connect Jaipur to Delhi, Ahmedabad, Agra, Mumbai,
Jodhpur, Kota, Alwar and Ajmer. Daily connections are also available for Udaipur,
Chittaurgarh, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Barmer, Kolkata, Jammu, Pathankot, Ludhiana, Kanpur,
Roorkee, Haridwar, Gwalior, Indore, Jabalpur and Bhopal.

Long-distance trains arrive from many other major cities including Lucknow, Allahabad,
Benaras, Vadodara, Surat, Nagpur, Bilaspur, Raipur, Patna, Ranchi, Bhubaneswar, Puri,
Chennai, Bangalore, Mysore, Hyderabad, Goa, Mangalore, Kozhikode and Kochi.

However the most popular option from Delhi is the Shatabdi express which departs Delhi
at 6.10 hrs and reaches Jaipur at 10.45hrs.

There are three major railway stations Jaipur Junction (main station),Durgapura and
Gandhinagar (Jaipur), which is not to be confused with Gandhinagar in Gujarat state. All
trains stop at Jaipur Junction and a few trains stop at Durgapura and Gandhinagar stations
also.

By bus

There is an excellent bus service between Jaipur to Delhi by Rajasthan State Road
Transport Corporation with buses approximately every half an hour both sides. There are
several types of buses including Deluxe, AC and the superior AC Volvo buses. From
Delhi you can board the bus from Bikaner House on Pandara Road next to India Gate.
From Jaipur you can board the bus from Narayan Singh Circle or the main Sindhi Camp
bus stand. You can also book tickets up to 6 days in advance from both these
places.These buses typically take 6 hours (by Volvo) or 6-7 hours by other deluxe buses.
There are also some private bus operators active in the city but you should avoid them as
most of them do not have permits and drive rashly. Also note that if you plan to leave
from Delhi airport, you can get off the bus at Dhaula Kuan and get an autorickshaw or
perhaps a taxi from there. You do not need to enter congested Delhi.

Express buses to Ahmedabad and several cities amd towns within Rajasthan (such as
Kota and Bundi) are also available.

(Rajasthan tour Packages)-Tour Packages Rajasthan offers tour packages all over
rajasthan, spiritual tour packages,Delhi darshan tour packages,Jaipur tour packages,
Corbet tour packages, weekend tours packages,Agra tour packages and Rajasthan tour
packages and much more.

By car

This is the most popular way of reaching from Delhi. The journey by car from Delhi to
Jaipur takes less than 4hrs. National Highway no. 8 connects Delhi to Jaipur via the
industrial township of Gurgaon. The road is excellent. A very popular method is to travel
from Delhi to Neemrana Fort,stay at the beautiful fort for a night, and them continue to
Jaipur next morning. One plus point for those flying out of Delhi is that the Delhi airport
is close to the highway, so you could reach the airport without entering the city.

Get around
By autorickshaw

By and large, autorickshaw is the best way around the city. In order to hire an
autorickshaw for a whole day (with a trip to Amber Fort) costs 250 INR (January 2008).
Prepaid autos are available at the Jaipur railway station and the Sindhi Camp bus stand.

By cycle-rickshaw

Cycle-rickshaws are cheaper, but the amount of time it takes quickly makes the extra
few rupees worth it. Walking in the bazaar is a treat, although side streets are a bit less
welcoming and offer a sharper glimpse of poverty.

By taxi

The taxis in Jaipur are very convenient and comfortable. Most of the vehicles are Maruti
Omni Vans or Tata Indica cars, which are much safer than Auto rickshaws, and the
drivers are polite. If you are alone or going to an unknown destination, you are strongly
advised to choose this option, even though the rates will be double that of an auto. you
must call for a taxi, as it is nearly impossible to hail one unless you are at a major point
like the airport. When you call, you should negotiate a fare (or agree on using the meter)
and get the taxi's 'number'. The taxi will come pick you up, and call you when they are
close. Taxis generally have yellow license plates with black letters. Some taxis are
painted with yellow & black color scheme on their body which helps to uniquely identify
from the private cars.

• Statue circle

• Ramgarh

• B.M. Birla Auditorium and Convention Centre

Forts

• Amber Fort (11 km from central Jaipur). This massive fort-palace complex built
in hybrid Hindu-Muslim style dates back to Raja Man Singh and was the royal
palace of the Kachwahas from c. 1600 to 1727. The name has nothing to do with
the rather pretty pastel yellow colour; instead, the fort is named after the town of
Amber, in turn named after the goddess Amba. The main sights within the fort
include the Sheesh Mahal, adorned with thousands on thousands of mirror tiles on
the walls and ceiling. The fort/palace grounds are sprawling and have no signage
whatsoever in any language, so it's worth getting an audio guide or a real guide.
It's a bit of a hike up from the town, and the touristy thing to do is to hitch an
elephant ride to the top (in order to get an elephant it is better to to arrive there in
 the morning, otherwise at midday the elephants are over. But the road that
elephans pass is not so long). Rs. 10/50 Indians/foreigners, plus optional
Rs.25/100 for still/video camera, Rs.100 for audioguide.

• Jaigarh Fort. Never conquered in battle, this was considered the strongest of the
three forts in the area. It is best known as the site of the world's largest cannon,
the Jaivana, which was test-fired only once — according to legend, despite using
only the half the design amount of gunpowder, the cannonball flew 35 km! A
better reason to visit the fort, though, are the scenic gardens at the other end and
the spectacular views over the Amber Fort and the hills around. The remains of
the foundry where the Jaivana (and many more) were cast are also in the fort
grounds. Rs.50 plus Rs.40 for camera.

• Nahargarh Fort. The smallest of the three forts, notable primarily for excellent
views over Man Sagar lake and the vast sprawl of Jaipur. The fort also houses the
(relatively) compact Madhavendra Bhawan palace, although its former splendour
is fading fast under a new layer of graffiti and pigeon droppings. Portions of the
movie Rang De Basanti were shot at this fort. To go the area where the
"Pathshala" song was shot, take a left turn as soon as you enter the fort. Rs.10
entry, Rs.35 for Madhavendra Bhawan.

Palaces

• City Palace. The City Palace is an imposing blend of traditional Rajput and
Mughal architecture. It is a vast palace complex occupying nearly one-seventh of
the Pink City. It was originally built by Maharaja Jai Singh II. The complex is
divided into a series of courtyards, sprawling gardens and buildings. It is home to
several palatial structures like the Chandra Mahal (home to present Maharajah
of Jaipur), Mubarak Mahal (housing a textile museum), Diwan-e-Khas (or Hall
of Private audience housing the two largest silver vessels in the world, which are
duly mentioned in the Guinness book), the Diwan-e-Aam ( or Hall of Public
Audience) and the gateway Ridhi Sidhi Pol (with four small doorways decorated
with motifs depicting the four seasons). Another integral part of the palace
complex is the Hawa Mahal, standing away from the main complex.

• Jal Mahal. Jal Mahal (or the Water Palace) is on the way to Sisodia Rani Garden.
A Rajput style architectured palace sits in the center of the Maan-sarovar lake.
The lake is often dry in the summer but winter monsoons frequently turn it into a
beautiful lake filled with water hyacinths.

Temples
 • Govind Devji Temple

• Moti Doongari

• Lakshmi Narayan Temple

Also called Birla temple, this is a relatively new temple made of white marble with
beautiful carvings.

• Akshardham Temple (at Vaishali Nagar)

• Jain Mandir (Shivdas Pura) 15-16 Km from Jaipur

• Galtaji

Galtaji is an ancient Hindu pilgrimage site situated 10 km from Jaipur on Jaipur-Agra

highway near Sisodia Rani Garden. The main temple here is temple of Galtaji in
constructed in pink stone. The temple has a number of pavilions with rounded roofs,
exquisitely carved pillars and painted walls. The temple is surrounded by natural springs
and reservoirs that are considered holy .There are also seven tanks or kunds here.

Monuments

• Jantar Mantar

Jantar Mantar is the biggest of five astronomical observatory build by Maharaja Jai Singh
during the period 1727-1734 in north India. It is located very close to the City Palace.
The observatory consists of fourteen major geometric devices (or yantra in Hindi) for
measuring time, predicting eclipses, tracking stars in their orbits, ascertaining the
declinations of planets, and determining the celestial altitudes etc. Unfortunately no text
is made available to tourists regarding the various yantras nor are there any
plaques/boards in front of them. In most of the cases local guides are not of any help
either.

• Hawa Mahal

Hawa Mahal (or Palace of breeze) was built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Singh as part of
City Palace. It was an extension of the Zenana (women) chamber. It's purpose was to
allow royal ladies to observe everyday life in the street below without being seen. It is a
five storey high red sandstone structure complete with over 950 windows. The breeze (or
hawa in Hindi) circulates through these windows giving the palace its name. Tourists are
not allowed to go inside the palace.

Gardens

• Ram Niwas Garden

 • Central Museum (or Albert Hall Museum)
• Zoological Garden
• Sisodia Rani Palace and Garden
• Vidyadhar Garden

Museums

2530226/2531267 A beautiful clean museum dedicated to the traditional art of
hand block printing textiles, this museum is housed in a recently restored heritage
haveli tucked into the back streets of old Amber. Small cafe, clean toilets, small
shop, friendly staff & a printer & block carver demonstrating their crafts every
day.

Do
• Raj Mandir Theatre. An experience in itself. The best movie theater in
Rajasthan, it offers an overwhelming experience. From the pushing, shoving, and
general chaos in the ticket line, to an audience that laughs, cries, cheers, claps,
and consistently talks through the entire film, the Raj Mandir provides an insight
into Rajasthani culture. The movies themselves are always interesting; Masala
movies are action, drama, mystery, suspense, and epics all wrapped into one
single movie, teeming with dances and obligatory wet sari scenes, and
unabashedly lifting generous amounts of plot devices from Western movies.

• Indian Music: nadsadhna.com"Life without Music is like a flower without

fragrance, a bird without wings or a body without soul. Music is the essence of
life, like a smile it has no language & no religion but only one identity, i.e., it
gives pleasure, peace & power." Nad Sadhna is the institution, which has tried to
unfold this beauty & treasure of Music before its worshippers. Nad Sadhna
provides a platform to learn Indian Music (Vocal, Instrumental and Dance). Here
you will acquire not only the knowledge of the subject but also the skill to
implement it, the power to understand the depth of the music and above all a
musical way to step into the world of Meditation, a perfect peace & joy, enough to
turn anyone's life into utopia. Above all, this place will provide an opportunity to
learn from an eminent musician, an experienced faculty & a recipient of several
prestigious awards like SUR-MANI and NAD-SADHAK, Dr. Ashwin Dalvi.

Buy
Snake charmers in Jaipur's Bazaars

• Bazaar. A brilliant colorful explosion of flowers, elephants, ox carts, and wares!

The traveller will smell the deep aroma of spices in canvas bags, the fetid smell of
animals and open sewers, the sweet waft of tea, and the crusty acrid burn of dust
and exhaust. The noise is chaotic, the people constantly will stare if you are a
Westerner and anybody who has something to sell will try to sell it to you,
repeatedly. Watch cobras dance out of their wicker baskets, and don't be too
surprised if the snake charmer slaps his cobra for having a wayward eye. Be
prepared to be asked for money if you plan to take photographs of snake-
charmers, beggars etc.

• Teamoods An exotic Tea Boutique located right as one enters the Pink City. The
Boutique offers a myriad range of Indian Teas (Darjeeling, Assam & Niligiri) and
Flavoured teas.

• Rajais Jaipur is famous for its `Rajais' (A type of light quilt stuffed with cotton).
You can get colourful & soft `Shaneel ki Rajai' in velvet finish. These are quiet
warm, soft and long lasting. You can shop in the main market area. But remember
to bargain.

of the joints. Do not miss it.

etc. Apno gaon however serves mouth watering delicious food as all vegetables

day or two, most of which are many times booked a year in advance. Though the list is
endless, a few of them are:

• Oberoi Rajvilas Palace Hotel, Goner Road, Jaipur 303 012, ☎ ''+91 141'' 268
0101 (gm@oberoi-rajvilas.com, fax: ''+91 141'' 268 0202). If you have money to

• Taj Rambagh Palace Hotel, Get out

Continue into Rajasthan, to the beautiful city of lakes Udaipur, the stunning, powerful
fort of Jodhpur, and onto the dreamy, enchanted desert city of Jaisalmer or for a more
untouristic desert city go for the charm of Bikaner as an alternatice to Jaisalmer.

To Udaipur train #2965,Jaipur Udaipur Superfast Express, is the best option has it has
recently entered service after work was finished on converting the gauge enroute

• Chokhi Dhani. Chokhi Dhani (Fine Hamlet in Rajasthani dialect) is a 5 star

ethnic resort. It is located on Jaipur-Tonk highway, around 18 kms from city
center. There are lodging facilities available but the real attraction is the evening
fun-fares. One can watch live folk dances, listen to live folk music, enjoy
elephant, camel, bullock cart rides and eat a traditional eat-as-much-as-you-can
meal on a single ticket. It gives you a glimpse of culture from different parts of

yourself. They open at 18:00 with entrance fee Rs 275 (including dinner). You can
go there by bus, auto-rikshaw or taxi, but best is probably to make sure you have a
ride back.

• Bhandarej Is a little known town 62km from Jaipur off Jaipur-Agra

Highway.From the times of Mahabharat,it is said,has seen a lot of history made.
Around 11th century A. D. Dula Rai defeated Badgujjars at both Dausa and
Bhandarej and ushered in the rein of Kachhawaha princes and established the
kingdom of Dhundar. The Bhandarej Fort was built around then. It has been
renovated extensively since. In 1994 it was made in to Bhadrawati Palace
Hotel(P)91-141-2363262.In the ancient times the fort was connected to the step
well in the village.The Step Well has five stories,is known as the Bari Bawari and
was made in 1732A.D.by the Kumbhani rulers Deep Singh and Daulat Singh.It
was renovated by Kuber Singh.Every year a Mela is held here at the Ancient
Temple of Balaji.It is attended in large numbers by the local villagers.Other
ancient temples in the village are of Bhadreshwar Mahadev,Bhandana
Mata,Gopalji's Temple and Masthala balaji.Abhaneri,an ancient step well,built on
a much larger scale than the bhandarej step well and the ancient haunted towns of
Ajabgarh-Bhangarh are 30km from bhandarej.

In 1767 A.D. then aged Rao Dalip Singh was commander of Jaipur forces against
Bharatpur ruler Jawahar Singh at Maonda-Mandholi, near Neem Ka Thana, for Jaipur
ruler Sawai Madho Singh I. In a fierce battle Rao Dalel Singh his son Kunwar Laxman
Singh and grand son Bhanwar Raj Singh (11yr) all lost their lives. Such was the bravery
of Bhandarej chieftains.
