Jaipur is the pristine jewel in the desert sands of Rajasthan.
Jaipur is as remarkable for its marvellous architecture and town planning as
it is for the lively spirit of the people who inhabit it. The city presents
a unique synthesis of culture that has to be experienced in order to be appreciated.
With its origin buried deep into the pages of history, the city still exudes
a magical old world charm; an aroma of chivalry and romance is evident, despit
having evolved into a city that is the hub of modern commercial activity in
the region. Tell-tale signs of the glorious past and regal splendour of the
city lie strewn across with gay abandon.
