Incredible I N D I A

26th and 27th of November we had a trip to Jaipur, Rajasthan. Beautiful city, has all the beauty of our India...its so colorful.

Jaipur,the pink city was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Jai Singh II, a Kachhwaha Rajput, who ruled from 1699-1744.Initiallyy his capital was Amber,which lies at a distance of 11kms from Jaipur.
He felt the need of shifting his capital city with the increase in population and growing scarcity of water.
Jaipur is the first planned city of India and the King took great interest while designing this city of victory. He consulted several books on architecture and architects before making the lay out of Jaipur.
Again we got chance to get back to our history and close to our culture.
Straight from office we went to Amber Fort..ruled by Raja Jai Singh in his time and from their we headed towards Jaigarh Fort..ruled by Raja Sawai Man Singh..we got an opportunity to have a look at the ...at present Bhavani Singh is the king, he was about to get Throne in 1947, but India got independent and democracy came into existence. One of the very famous movie "Border" was story of troop of Bhavani Singh.


Amber Fort : Jaipur Attractions Standing tall over a small hillock overlooking the Pink City, Amber is the classic romantic Rajasthan fort & palace.
Amber today is nothing but a reflection of the glorious past of the fierce Kachwaha Dynasty that ruled over this region from 12th to 18th century. Man Singh I started the construction of this fort in 1592 and, perhaps, it was the defense that topped his priorities before constructing this fort.
The rugged walls of this fort may not look beautiful from outside, but the interior is a virtual paradise and painted scenes of hunting and wars adorn the walls along with precious stones and mirrors set into the plaster.
Half the fun at Amber Fort is the walk from the road to the fort with majestic views of the surrounding valley. An elephant ride up to the fort is also an unforgettable experience. Not to be missed if you plan to travel to Jaipur.


Jaigarh Fort : Known as the Fort of Victory, Jaigarh Fort is the most imposing tourist attraction in Jaipur.
At a distance of about 15 kilometers from the city, perched in the midst of thorny hills, the Jaigarh

Fort offers a panoramic view of the city below.

The fort houses the world’s largest cannon on wheels.

Known as Jaivana, it was built in 1720. It is believed, out of the three underground tanks in the fort, one could store up to 60,00,000 gallons of water.

The museum and armory inside Jaigarh Fort are must-sees.

By evening we reached "Chokhi Dhani"... A W E S O M E place to visit.
Chokhi Dhani is a concept to join the rajasthani tribes from the world.

But real rajasthan is still there in villages, the paintings..., art bandhani..., the wall decorations..., the cow dung plaster..., the pure food..., the fresh air..., the evening performances, the enthusiasm, the 'manuhar' (mouthful catering), their rituals traditions, the costumes and at last but not least the feelings
