Jaipur Tourist Attractions

City Palace
A series of gateways and courtyards bring you to a complex of office buildings and temporary stalls. The first apartment encountered is the Mubarak Mahal, the welcome which stands at the center of a courtyard. It is a two-storey building in marble inspired by the Diwan-e-Khas of Akbar's Fatehpur Sikri. The little showpiece gem was constructed by Madho Singh II in 1900 as a guest-house and is now the Royal Wardrobe Museum. The collection is well worth seen to capture a glimpse of the fine muslins, prints, and silk brocades that once were produced in this region, and even though the exhibits are a bit dusty it does suggest that matching contrasting colors was the fashion of the time. Amidst the clothes and textiles on display are some rare and beautiful pieces of glassware and an assortment of huqqa stands.

Hawa Mahal
The most photographed building in Jaipur must be the Hawa Mahal (the palace of the wind) which is tall, oddly-shaped structure. It is designed one room deep but raised on five storeys so that the angled and lacy lattice windows may capture the slightest wisp of breeze. The building was added to the palace complex in 1799 by Pratap Singh for the ladies of the royal family to watch processions and festivities on the street below without being seen themselves.

Jaigarh Fort
Jaigarh Fort is accessible by a road leading a few kilometers off the main highway to Jaipur. It is an enjoyable place to visit. There are cannons (in working condition?) and a little museum of artifacts that tell the story of the fort and its vast, well-protected treasury.

Amber Fort
A lovely wooded road runs north of Jaipur (11 kilometers away), winding around the low hills and suddenly, quite unexpectedly, the fortified palace of Amber looms into view. It stands on a high terraced plateau at the foot of the south-west face of the Jaigarh Fort hill overlooking the Maota lake. The location is superb, surrounded as it is by low hills covered only with scrub and bushes, their ragged crests silhouetted against a never-ending line of fort walls and watch-towers. The history of this site goes back several centuries. It was inhabited by the Susawat Minas and then in AD 1106 the Kachhwaha clan occupied this territory when they moved away from central India.
