Jaipur Discovery Like Never Before
Rajasthan is another world within
that huge and incredible country called India. It has some of the most
attractive and photogenic cities in the country, deserts that seem eternal and
an idiosyncrasy that makes this state something peculiar. The city of Jaipur is
often used as a gateway to Rajasthan and
is one of the first steps that travelers who visit India usually take for the
first time. Book any of the royal hotels with grand view or any of the Service Apartments Jaipur and
enjoy your holiday.
What to see a Jaipur? A walk through the capital of Rajasthan
The great passion of Jai Singh II
was between destined to great disciplines of science like, for example,
mathematics or astronomy. The latter made him spend more time looking at the
stars and looking for new planets that he devised the creation of a gigantic
astronomical observatory (JantarMantar) with which to study the stars and
satisfy their knowledge. He ordered to erect several of them throughout the
country but without a doubt that of Jaipur is the largest and best preserved
not only in India but throughout the Asian continent.
The Palace of the winds
Let's not fool ourselves. If we
come to Jaipur it is because we have fallen in love with an extraordinary image
of a place that we doubt if it is reality or fantasy. The facade of the
HawaMahal with about a thousand small windows was born as an extravagant need
to expand the palace harem in 1799 by the SawaiPratap Singh who commissioned
the design to Lal Chand Usta. In this way the many women of the Maharaja could
observe the street without being seen.
Maharaja's residence
Between JantarMantar and the
harem's facade is the one that was (and is) the Maharaja's Palace. You can
visit different pavilions and see the extravagances of different Rajput chiefs,
such as who, to travel to London to visit the Queen, took with them the largest
silver urns that are known to transport water from the river Ganges They tell,
by the way, that this Maharaja was so strange that he could not be touched by
any foreigner and that he burned the clothes that were put on official
receptions.
City markets
If we do not get hit by a
rickshaw, a cow or we are fortunate to save ourselves from smoke poisoning from
the exhaust pipe, the best thing we can do is walk through BadiChaupar, the
Grand Plaza and Tripolia Bazaar, the main avenue that crosses the Old city to
stroll through the street stalls that retain their traditional modus operandi.
Nothing of souvenir shops but it is a bazaar of those of always, in which it is
sold what the people of Jaipur require for their daily life. While you are
staying in Service Apartmentin Jaipur, the markets will be near from your place.
High rise buildings have become the smart choice for home buyers and are looked upon as the luxurious living. But staying in low rise has its own luxury and benefits.
