The
City Palace:
In the heart of the old city lies the royal residence
of the erstwhile King of Jaipur. Built using a blend of Rajasthani and
Mughal styles, the palace has carved arches, supported by grey-white
marble columns, decorated with floral motifs created with gold and colored
stones. Two carved marble elephants guard the entrance. The palace houses
a Museum with a superb collection of Rajasthani costumes.
Hawa
Mahal
Built in 1799 A.D., the Hawa Mahal or Palace of Winds is a
major Rajput landmark. This five-storied building along the main street of
the old city is a pink sandstone masterpiece with semi-octagonal and
delicately honeycombed windows. The monument was originally conceived with
the aim of enabling ladies of the royal household to watch the everyday
life and royal processions in the city – in absolute privacy.
Amer
Fort Palace
The 15th century Palace is an amalgamation of
Rajasthani Hindu & Early Mughal architecture and still quite well
preserved. The most fascinating part of visit to Amer Fort is the 1.5 kms
uphill ride on 'elephant backs'.
