Jaipur Travel Info

Named after King Sawai Jai Singh II (1683 – 1743 A.D.) who was famous as agreat warrior, a great scholar, a mathematician, an astronomer and a town planner – Jaipur is the present capital of Rajasthan. It is also called the ‘Pink City’.

The old city is encircled by a wall with seven gates and the Iswari Minar Swarga Sul, the ‘minaret piercing heaven’ near the Tripoli gate was built by Maharaja Madho Singh (1751 – 1768) mainly to enable the ladies to watch processions.

An eleven km drive north of Jaipur brings you to Amber with the royal palace atop a hill. The palace is in the form of a large fortress with massive thick walls and gateways. An image of Durga – which was brought by Akbar’s brilliant general Raja Man Singh – is seated within. The palace has a Diwan-I-Aam or Hall of Audience with a double row of columns and latticed galleries above.
