About Jaipur

Jaipur, Rajasthans lyserøde by, er en kongelig hovedstad af forter, paladser og basarer mod de barske Aravalli-bakker.

Den gamle bys mure omslutter et net af terrakottalyserøde gader, anlagt i 1700-tallet af maharajaen Sawai Jai Singh II. I hjertet blander Bypaladset rajputiske og mogulske stilarter, Hawa Mahals bikubefacade, Vindenes Palads, ser ned på gaden, og Jantar Mantars gigantiske astronomiske instrumenter følger stadig solen.

Top-ranked sights in Jaipur: Palace of Wind (Hawa Mahal), City Palace, Jal Mahal (Water Palace).
