Jaipur is a major tourist destination in India. The city
was planned according to Indian Vastu shastra by Vidyadhar Bhattacharya in
1727. India’s desert capital of Jaipur,
affectionately referred to as the Pink City because of the pink walls and buildings
of the old city, lures visitors with its stunning remnants of a bygone era.
Jaipur was built by Sawai Jai Singh II, a Rajput king who ruled from 1699 to
1744. In 1727, he decided it was necessary to shift from Amber Fort to a
location providing more space and better facilities, and began to construct the
city. Jaipur is actually India’s first planned city, and the king put great
effort into its design
Jaisalmer’s ethereal sandstone Fort, which resembles a
massive sandcastle rising from the desert, is the city’s focal point. The Fort
was built in 1156 by Rajput ruler Jaisal, who also founded the city at the same
time. Jaisalmer is also known for the fairytale architecture of its magnificent
historichavelis (mansions), located both inside and out of the Fort. Many can
be found in the narrow lanes north of the Fort.
It’s possible to stay at a desert camp in the area.
An astonishing 30,000 camels converge on the tiny desert
town of Pushkar, in India’s state of Rajasthan, for the annual Pushkar Fair.
It’s a fascinating and peculiar sight, and a great opportunity to witness an
old traditional-style Indian festival. The fair has now also become a major
tourist attraction, with the camel trading part being surpassed by a formal
program of activities arranged by Rajasthan Tourism. According to legends, Lord
Brahma, believed to be the creator of the Universe dropped a lotus to the
ground leading to the immediate creation of a lake. He then decided to name the
place after the flower, and thus the name, Pushkar.
The only hill station of Rajasthan, its cool atmosphere
and lush green surroundings make it a major tourist spot within the state. The
most important attraction, however, are undoubtedly the Dilwara temples, which
is one of the most stunning piece of architecture in the country. Aravalli Hills, where Mount Abu is situated,
are of peculiar beauty that is difficult to understand if one has seen only the
sand dunes of Jaisalmer in Rajasthan. Considered as the ‘oasis of the desert’
for being home to some rivers, lakes, waterfalls, etc, this hill destination is
respite from the scalding heat of Rajasthan.
