The Jewel Of Rajasthan

HISTORICAL HERITAGE

The established principles of Vastu Shastra, used by noted architect Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, afforded Jaipur the distinction of being the first planned city in India. In 1876 when the Prince of Wales visited India on a tour, the then ruler Maharaja Ram Singh had the entire city painted pink as a symbolic gesture of his hospitality. Jaipur, which rises majestically against the backdrop of the forts - Nahargarh, Jaigarh and Garh Ganesh Temple can trace its origins to 1727 when it was established by Jai Singh II, the Raja of Amber who shifted his capital from Amber to the new city because of the rapidly growing population and increasing water scarcity.

Jaipur combines the mysticism of ancient history with all the advantages of a metropolis. This bustling modern city, acclaimed by some of the most well-known celebrities and discerning audiences in the world is one of the three corners of the golden triangle that includes Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur.

HANDICRAFTS AND CULTURE

Jaipur's rich cultural tapestry extends to its vibrant handicraft scene, where skilled artisans craft magnificent treasures; from intricate block printing, exquisite jewellery combining traditional techniques with contemporary designs, marble carvings, pottery, and leatherworks, to a kaleidoscope of vibrant fabrics. Jaipur's handicrafts reflect a timeless tradition of artistry and innovation. Adding to Jaipur's allure is the culinary cornucopia of popular local street delicacies and dishes which quintessentially define the region.
