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.
