Overview:
Northeast pocket of Jaipur’s is vibrant Pink City, Here the City Palace sits gracefully beside the celestial marvel of Jantar Mantar and is only a leisurely stroll from the breezy arches of Hawa Mahal. This two is the iconic best places to visit in India.
City Palace is situated within the walled city area of Jaipur, Rajasthan, at Jaleb Chowk, near the Tripolia Gate, one of the three grand entrances.
Jaipur architecture tells a story of unity in design. Persian-style floral motifs sit beside traditional jharokhas and chhatris make it beautiful. Inside the Diwan-i-Khas, two giant silver urns — crafted by Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh II to carry Ganga water to London — still stand. These sacred vessels hold a Guinness World Record as the largest silver objects in the world.
