In Rajasthan, one of the northern states of India, the city of Jaipur is one corner of the legendary Golden Triangle.
Known as the pink city, Jaipur’s chaotic streets are a fascinating juxtaposition of new and ancient. You can find plenty of modern amenities here, but you won’t find a new, imported car being driven without first being blessed with a traditional ceremony.
The characteristic colouring of many buildings has earned Jaipur the title of “Pink City”. At its heart, the City Palace features sprawling gardens, courtyards, and grand buildings, still used by the former royal family today. Other architectural wonders include the beautiful Hawa Mahal, Govind Dev Ji Temple, the imposing Rajpur forts, Vidhan Sabha, and the Palace of Winds. The evening bazaar weaves through a labyrinth of hectic streets, a brilliant sensory experience with countless spices, sweets, sounds, and colours.
