Answers
Jaipur is considered to be the capital of Rajasthan. It is famous across the country for its rich tradition and diverse culture. The variety of forts and palaces showcase the exciting history of Jaipur. This city was formed by the Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II know as a great warrior in the ancient times.
Although initially the capital of Rajasthan used to be Amber but considering the safety viewpoint, the capitals were changed later on. Since several construction and architecture were painted with the colour terracotta pink back in the earlier times, the name of the city popularly became the pink city.
This city has been trendy amongst the visitors since earlier times, due to the availability of several famous hotels. One of which is the Raj Vilas which is known widely due to its beautiful architecture. These palaces in ancient times belonged to the kings and their families. Therefore, all of these hotels have a bit of royalty in them.
Several locations in Jaipur are exquisite and have glorious architecture. For example, the widely recognized Raj Mandir Theatre. This place is usually crowded up with people across the world. This is a cinema hall that is created with magnificent interior and exterior design.

Travel to Jaipur (Rajasthan) to see India’s true majestic past and to feel how the kings and rulers of India used to live. Jaipur is really a very magnificent city with its splendid palaces, which till date are well preserved, its vibrant markets and feel of the city being a remarkable tourist destination. All thanks to a Rajput king, Sawai Jai Singh II who ruled Jaipur from 1699 to 1744 and constructed Jaipur with an objective to have more facilities and space. Jaipur is India’s first planned city.
I went to Jaipur from Delhi in Feb 2006 with my family by car and found it a very colorful city. Moreover, the highway from Delhi to Jaipur is also fabulous and so travelling in your own vehicle is not a problem. It took approximately four to five hours to reach Jaipur. At that time there were not many roadside dhabas (small restaurants) as present on the highway from Delhi to Punjab.
Our trip was an unplanned one as made in hurry. So no hotel room was booked in advance and even we did not have any idea of any hotel or the place itself. Also we had never gone to that side of the country and no relative of ours stayed at any nearby place. Hence the worry of parents was obvious, but for us, all these things were making the whole trip very adventurous, memorable and enjoyable. We reached Jaipur at about 6 pm and our first target was to find a good hotel. Through hit and trial we reached M.I road and enquired about some good hotels on that road. Again by chance we happen to see Hotel Maurya Palace which is very close to M.I. road but not exactly on the road. By looking at the hotel’s exterior and interior we decided to stay there. The hotel was wonderful with good service, spacious rooms, modern facilities, on call room service, and neat and clean ambience. Above that, during our stay, the hotel was not at all crowded so we had thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.
The next morning we got a tour guide from the hotel itself. Though the hotel also organizes trips to Bikaner and inner Rajasthan but we decided to visit nearby places and palaces. After breakfast at the hotel our tour guide first of all took us to Amber Fort and showed us the entire fort with detailed explanation. Amer or Amber fort is a very popular tourist attraction and located 11 km from Jaipur. It was built by Raja Man Singh I. I liked the Sheesh Mahal (mirror palace) in the fort. It was designed in a way that it artificially creates a cool climate with wind blowing over the cascades of water. The temple of Sila Devi inside the fort close to its Ganesh Gate has an interesting tale behind it. Our tour guide told us that head of Sila Devi is now not straight as she got angry because no longer human males are sacrificed in the palace which earlier used to be the ritual. We enjoyed the fort thoroughly.
