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 marvellous
architecture and town planning as it is for the lively 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 deep into the pages
of history, the city still exudes a magical old world charm; an aroma of chivalry
and romance is evident, despit 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 coloufrul trurbans, fierce moustaches and lips that spontaneouslya
crease into a heart warming smile.
A city like Jaipur, where modernity
and tradition live hand-in-hand, is truly rare. Perhaps this is what makes it
an attractive destination for tourists who flock to Jaipur , year after year.
