Rajasthan
Settled in the rugged hills of the
Aravallis, Jaipur is the pristine jewel in the
desert sands of Rajasthan. Jaipur is as
remarkable for its marvelous architecture and
town planning as it is for the liverly spirit
of the people who inhabit it. The city presents
a unique synthesis of culture that has to be
experienced in order to be appreciated.
With its origin
buried into the pages of history, the city
still exudes a magical old world charm, an
aroma of chivalry and romance is evident,
despite having evolved into a city that is the
hub of modern commercial activity in the
region. Tell-tale signs of the glorious past
and regal splendour of the city lie strewn
across with gay abandon. The colourful and
intricately carved monuments are adequately
matched by the lively spirit of fanfare,
festivity and celebration of the people. Even
today, one can find weather beaten faces with
huge colourful turbans, fierce moustaches and
lips that spontaneously crease into a heart
warming smile. A city like Jaipur, where this
is what makes it an attractive destination for
tourists who flock to Jaipur, year after year.
