Let's have a trip to Jaipur...
The city of Jaipur is famous for its monuments and historical buildings. Jaipur is a city which was dominated by the Rajputs for a long time. Therefore, the monuments of Jaipur are a symbol of the bravery, wits and perseverance of its rulers.
One of the most famous and beautiful tourist destinations of Jaipur is the Amer fort, located on a hill. Built by Raja Maan Singh of Amber, it is known for its architecture, which represents the Hindu style. Inside it is the Jai Mandir or sheesh mahal,with a magnificent structure.
Another fort in this complex is the Jaigarh Fort,
built by Raja Jai Singh II to protect the Amer Fort. One can therefore see large cannons and other weapons of war inside this fort.
Another attraction of Jaipur is the Sisodia Rani Bagh, built on the outskirts of the city by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. It is a huge palace with many gardens on different levels. The speciality of this palace are the fountains, from which water flows at different speeds and in different patterns in accordance to the music. The palace walls are carved with paintings of different moments of Lord Krishna's life.
The Hawa Mahal, built by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh and designed by Lal Chand Ustad in the form of the crown of Lord Krishna, is another symbol of the beautiful architecture and the belief of the Rajputs in God.
The city palace is another interesting place to visit. It was initially started by Sawai Jai Singh II, but later continued by his successors, the Mughal rulers and the British. It is therefore a fusion of the three styles of architecture.
The city of Jaipur also highlights the scientific skills of its rulers. The Jantar Mantar is one such place. It was built by Sawai Jai Singh and is a collection of nineteen astronomical instruments based on ancient sanskrit texts and islamic astronomy, and used for various purposes: calcualting time, foreseeing eclipses and studying celestial objects.
The Albert Hall Museum is an important remembrance of the freedom fighters of India, with special focus on Gandhiji, and their unforgettable roles for the freedom of India.
