My next trip was to the state of majestic palaces and beautiful deserts - Rajasthan, which started with the Pink City, Jaipur. We reached Jaipur at around 10 am and went to my friend's house, who is native of Jaipur, in half and hour. After taking few minutes to refresh ourselves, we hit the road in a decent car. It is good to have a car with you in a hot place like Rajsthan, where accessibility by means of public transportation could also be an issue. Dipin - the local friend gave us a very good guided tour of all the places.
Hawa Mahal:
The next day we visited a few great places in Jaipur. Hawa Mahal is as beautiful as I had always known. Hawa Mahal meaning the Palace of Winds is truly amazing and you get plenty of air wherever you stand inside the palace. This architecture made of red sandstone was constructed in 1799 during the reign of Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh. The design of this palace resembles the crown of Lord Krishna, a Hindu God. There are total 953 windows known as Jharokhas in this palace.
Jal Mahal:Jal Mahal is another tourist site which is positioned in the centre of the Man Sarovar Lakein Jaipur. Jal Mahal meansWater Palace. The architecture again deserves appreciation and the location of the palace itself attracts tourists.
Amber Fort:
We moved to the Amber Fort after that. It is almost 11 km drive form Jaipur. The fort was built during the period of Raja Man Singh in 1592. The fort was named after Amba, the Mother Goddess. The fort is made out of red and white sandstone.
The most beautiful part inside the Amber fort is the Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace) which is known for its walls and ceilings decorated and engrafted with innumerable colorful mirror tiles. You can also go for an elephant ride to reach the top of the fort and enjoy the classic view of the city from there.
City Palace:
After visiting the Amber Fort we went to the City Palace of Jaipur. This is the palace where the royal family of Jaipur still resides. The City Palace was built during the reign of Maharaja Jai Singh II. Inside the City Palace, there are several building s and gardens, the buildings include Chandra Mahal, Mubarak Mahal, Ridhi Sidhi Pol and the Diwan-E-Aam and Diwan-E-Khas. Chandra Mahal is the palace where the Jaipur royal family lives.
