About Jaipur

Jaipur, de Roze Stad van Rajasthan, is een koninklijke hoofdstad van forten, paleizen en bazaars tegen de woeste Aravalli-heuvels.

De muren van de oude stad omsluiten een stratenpatroon in terracottaroze kleur, dat in de achttiende eeuw werd aangelegd door maharadja Sawai Jai Singh II. In het hart mengt het Stadspaleis Rajput- en Mogolstijlen, kijkt de honingraatgevel van de Hawa Mahal, het Paleis van de Winden, neer op de straat, en volgen de gigantische astronomische instrumenten van Jantar Mantar nog steeds de zon.
