About Jaipur

Jaipur, la Ville rose du Rajasthan, est une capitale royale de forts, de palais et de bazars sur fond de collines abruptes des Aravalli.

Les murailles de la vieille ville enserrent un quadrillage de rues peintes en rose terre cuite, tracé au XVIIIe siècle par le maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. En son cœur, le palais de la Ville mêle styles rajput et moghol, la façade en nid d'abeille du Hawa Mahal, le palais des Vents, domine la rue, et les instruments astronomiques géants de Jantar Mantar suivent toujours le soleil.

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