This famous city the capital of Rajasthan and

constructed palaces, havelis and forts. Tall, rugged men with handle bar
whiskers sport bright pink turbans. Jaipur which means the City of Victory
was built exactly 269 years back and is 262km by road from Delhi A strong
wall encircles the old city and even today has a suggestion of formidable
strength, its function of protecting all within is obvious. The plains of
Rajasthan of which Jaipur is the capital once thundered and echoed with the
clash of swords and the drums of war. Built in 1727 by Sarai Jai Singh-II,
Jaipur was the first planned city of its time (the earlier planned city in
Northern India having been built near Taxila sometime in the 2nd century BC)
Jaipur was planned by Vidyadhr Bhattacharya, a Bengali architect, in a grid
system with wide straight roads, streets and uniform rows of shops on either
side of the bazaars arranged in nine rectangular city sectors. The city it
self is an attractive creation worthy of universal admiration. There is a
feast in store for the tourist. Attractive monuments where one can breathe
the proud palaces of kings, parks, gardens and excursions of nearby places
of interest make Jaipur a tourist's paradise.
