Highlights
- Hawa Mahal - Palace of Wind - The most iconic landmark of Jaipur, the Palace of Winds, was constructed in 1799 by Sawai Pratap Singh. It was designed for the royal family to observe the daily life of the city. The palace features multiple tiers of curved arches topped with fairy casements and “jali” – latticework screens.
- City Palace of Jaipur - One of Jaipur’s most renowned attractions and a significant landmark, the City Palace was designed by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh during his reign. Unlike other forts and palaces in Jaipur, the City Palace stands out for its exquisite art and architecture. The complex covers a vast area, divided into a series of gardens, courtyards, and buildings. Initially, Raja Jai Singh constructed the outer wall, and subsequent kings added the opulent structures.
- Jantar Mantar - Jaipur - The Jantar Mantar monument in Jaipur, Rajasthan, is a collection of nineteen architectural astronomical instruments, built by the Rajput king Sawai Jai Singh and completed in 1738 CE. It boasts the world’s largest stone sundial and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Jantar Mantar is the largest stone astronomical observatory globally, making it a unique destination for travelers.
- Amber Fort - Amber Fort, one of Jaipur’s most magnificent sites, is located on the rugged hills outside the city. It exemplifies a captivating blend of Hindu and Muslim architecture, constructed from red sandstone and white marble. The fort’s highlight is the Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace), renowned for its intricate mirror work.
- Jal Mahal - Jal Mahal, a water palace, is situated in the middle of the picturesque Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur. This exceptional structure of Rajput culture was renovated and expanded in the 18th century by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Amber. The stunning five-story building is made of red sandstone.
- Albert Hall Museum - Albert Hall (Central Museum) is located in the Ram Niwas Garden, a vast and lush garden that houses a zoo, a greenhouse, an aviary, a museum, and a sports ground. Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh II built it in 1868 as a relief project for his famine-stricken subjects. Unfortunately, the zoo has a dismal atmosphere, with poorly nourished birds and animals living in artificial habitats without proper care.
- Birla Mandir Temple - Birla Mandir is a modern white marble temple with three domes, featuring beautiful deities of Lakshmi Narayan in a blessing posture. The temple is beautifully illuminated at night, creating a stunning scene worth witnessing. In the garden, there is a statue of Lord Shiva. Visitors are required to dress appropriately and leave their footwear outside the entrance.
