CUSTOMS OF JAIPUR

• Jaipur being a traditional place, most people
  there still view women from an orthodox point of
  view. In the earlier times the royal wives were
  not allowed to step outside the palace grounds.
  Their slight contact with outside was through the
  numerous latticed windows of Hawa Mahal, from
  where they could watch the townspeople going
  about their work or watch processions. The rest
  of the royal palace was surrounded by a tall wall
  with no gaps. It would be helpful for the women
  to note that a lengthy dress leaving little to
  skin show would be the most proper attire for
  Rajasthan.

INTRESTING PLACES AT JAIPUR
17
AMBER FORT

• The Kachhawahas ruled from Amber, 11 km from
  Jaipur, for seven centuries. With a history so
  old, it is not unexpected that there is a lot of
  the past that can be traced in its archaeological
  history. While many of the very early structures
  have either disappeared or been ruined, those
  dating from the 16th century on are in a
  remarkable state of preservation.

18

• Amber as it exists now is the handiwork of
  three of the kingdom's rulers that include Man
  Singh and Jai Singh I and II

19
JAIGARH FORT

• One of the few military structures of medieval
  India, retaining its ancient splendour in
  palaces, garden, reservoirs, a granary, an
  armoury, a well planned cannon foundry, several
  temples, a tall tower and a giant mounted cannon
  the Jai Ban, one of the largest in the country
  are preserved here.

20

• The extensive parkotas (walls), watch tower and
  gateways of Jaigarh dominate the western skyline.

21
CITY PALACE

• As may be expected, the City Palace complex lies
  at the heart of the city. Getting in is simpler
  than it once was. Though the erstwhile maharaja
  and his family and close friends use the
  triple-arched Tripolia Gate to enter their
  section of the palace, most visitors are ushered
  in through Atish Pol which is located close to
  the royal stables.

22

• However, it is only the buildings around Chandra
  Mahal that are open to the public, and these also
  form part of a museum which includes everything
  from Grand outfits (including one with 18 kilos
  of golden thread woven into it) to swords and two
  silver urns that are believed to be the largest
  silver objects in the world. These are housed in
  the Mubarak Mahal, and the Diwan-I-am
  respectively.

23
HAWA MAHAL

• Located to one side, but a part of the City
  Palace complex, Hawa Mahal is best viewed from
  the street outside. If is were not for the
  bustling bazaar all around, it would have been
  easy to mistake it for a film set, so exquisitely
  is it proportioned, and so incongruous is its
  delicacy.

24

• Hawa Mahal consists of five tiers of corridors on
  the inside, with pierced screen windows that
  overlook the street below. It is believed the
  women of the royal zenana would sit concealed
  behind these screens to see life in the city
  beyond the walls of the palace.

25
JANTAR MANTAR

• A stone observatory, part of the city palace
  complex, Jantar Mantar is one of several other
  astronomical observatories created by Maharaja
  Sawai Jai Singh 2nd (other are in Delhi, Banaras,
  Ujjain).

26

• These concrete masonry instruments were used to
  measure everything from altitude to time, and map
  the movement of the planets and the stars.
• Jai Singh 2nd had a passion for astronomy and
  used astronomical inventions from different of
  these observatories.

27
CENTRAL MUSEUM

• Located in the center of the sprawling Ram Niwas
  Bagh, this is the oldest museum in the state. The
  building was designed by colonel Sir Swinton
  Jacob. It was built in 1876 when king Edward VII
  visited India as the Prince of Wales. It was
  opened to public in 1886 there is also an
  Egyptian mummy belonging to the Ptolemaic Epoch.

28

• There are miniature paintings of various
  sub-schools of Rajasthan . A glimpse of the land
  the people of Rajasthan is presented through well
  planned dioramas. From 1959 onwards the various
  galleries along the ground floor of the museum
  were completely reorganized and renovated.

29

• The central gallery is devoted to Rajasthani
  music and dance. Original musical instrument,
  both classical and folk, are displayed in their
  functional positions. Specimens include typical
  folk instruments like Masak, Kama, Yacha, Dadh,
  Madal, Khanjari, Satari, Bankia, Pungi, Alogoja,
  Iktara etc.

  classical ones like kathak for which Jaipur

  such as Dandia, Ghoomar Holi etc. Festivals
  ceremonies (like marriage) are also dioramized in
  a lively manner. The museum functions as the
  State Museum of Rajasthan.
