The capital of
Rajasthan, Jaipur is not only the gateway to the state but it
is the most natural place to begin a discovery of its
multi-faceted attractions. As a city, Jaipur is fairly young,
less than three centuries old. It was laid out by Maharaja
Sawai Jai Singh II, of the Kachchawaha dynasty from Amber, the
former capital of the state, less than 10 kms. from here. The
Maharaja appointed Vidhyadhar, a Bengali architect, to plan a
modern capital. |
