Rajasthan rolling - 9 (Jaipur)
We reached Jaipur in three hours and traveled a distance of 183 km from Mandawa. Registered in Umaid Hotel
Bhawan where we talked and after a snack we decided to start exploring the City Palace and Jantar Mantar which are right next to each other.
I just went through Jantar Mantar trying to understand how the various structures were used.
We continue our way to the City Palace, part of which has been turned into a museum. As soon as we enter, we set up
filming was canceled. Luckily we got there after shooting, otherwise our movement would have been limited.
The palace was built between 1729 and 1732, originally by Sawai Jai Singh II, the ruler of Amber. He designed and built the outer walls and subsequent rulers completed them until the 20th century. The credit for creating the urban design of the city and its buildings goes to two architects, namely Vidyadar Bhattacharya, chief architect of the royal court, and Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob, as well as Sawai himself, who was an architecture enthusiast. architecture. Architects push for the merger of Shilpa Shastra
Indian architecture with Rajput, Mughal and European architectural styles. After Jaising's death in 1744, internal wars were waged between the Rajput kings of the region, but cordial relations were maintained with the British Raj. Maharaja Ram Singh sided with the British during the rebellion or rebellion of the sepoys of 1857 and settled with the imperial rulers. Its merit is that the city of Jaipur, including all its monuments (including the City Palace), is painted with plaster in the "pink color", and the city has since been called the "Pink City". The change in color scheme was common in honor of the hospitality of the Prince of Wales (his grandfather became King Edward VII) during his visit. Since then, this color combination has become the hallmark of the city of Jaipur.
The next morning we went to the Amer Fort. Along the way we also saw the amazing Hawa Mahal. he did not have
inside Hawa Mahal we have been told that there is nothing useful inside and all that can be seen from the outside. So I clicked on a few and went to Amer Fort.
On the way to Amer Fort, we also saw Jal Mahal in the distance.
Amer Fort is located on a wooded slope above Lake Maota, near the city of Amer, around 11am
kilometers from Jaipur.
A narrow jeep road leads to the fort's entrance gate, known as Suraj Pol or Sun Gate.
We are not allowed to drive and must park in a large parking lot. You can walk or walk alongside the jeeps or elephants available for this purpose. We choose to walk.
Amer Fort was built by King Mina Raja Alan Singh Chanda and was later occupied by the Rajputs of Kachhav. This fort, together with the Jaigarh fort, is located directly above Chil ka Tila (Hill of Eagles).
The Aravalli hills are considered a single complex, as they are well connected by an underpass. This corridor was intended as an escape route for the royals and other residents of Amer Fort to pass through the more dubious Jaigarh Fort.
The views from the top are impressive.
I spent half a day shopping in the city and had dinner at the Handi Restaurant. Eat Lal Maas (red meat)
a typical Rajasthani fire dish with good crunchy naan.
On the third day we met Bharat, our friend and guide from Jaipur.
He promised to show us the invisible Rajasthan and took us to Abhaneri, a small town known for its fantastic camping gear and Harshat Mata.
Temple and Bhangarh (ghost palace) which is about 90 km from Jaipur.
The myth of Bhangarh. Princess Bhangarh Ratnavati's charm is said to be unmatched in all of Rajasthan. When she turned eighteen, the princess began receiving marriage proposals from the heads of other states. In the same area lived a tantric, an occult sorcerer named Singhia, who was madly in love with the princess. He knew he would never even be allowed to see her, let alone meet her. One day she saw the princess's maid buying her perfumed oil in the market. Seeing this, he had an idea with which he could meet the princess. She used her black magic and cast a spell on the oil which hypnotized the princess by simply touching the oil and she gave up. The princess accidentally dropped the container on a rock. As soon as the oil touched the stone, it rolled towards the evil tantrik and crushed him. When he died, Singhia cursed the palace with the death of all who lived there, with no rebirth in his destiny. The following year there was a battle between Bhangarh and Ajabgarh and Ratnavati was killed. So far it is believed to be inhabited by ghosts and no one dares to visit it after dark.
