JAIPUR
CITY OF RAJASTHAN
Jaipur is the capital of India’s Rajasthan state. It evokes the royal
family that once ruled the region and that, in 1727, founded what is now called
the Old City, or “Pink City” for its trademark building color. At the center of
its stately street grid (notable in India) stands the opulent, colonnaded City
Palace complex. With gardens, courtyards and museums, part of it is still
a royal residence.
Across from the City Palace is Jantar Mantar, an open-air astronomical
observatory from the early 18th century. Also nearby is the Hawa Mahal (Palace
of the Winds), a former cloister for royal women fronted by a rippling 5-story
screen of pink sandstone. Several kilometers outside the city center, elephants
carry visitors uphill to the imposing Amer Fort, which features elaborate wall
carvings and paintings. On the way to the fort, many visitors stop on the banks
of Man Sagar Lake to photograph Jal Mahal, a partially submerged palace that
famously reflects in the water.

Manter Jaipur.
The Jantar Mantar is a collection of nineteen
architectural astronomical instruments built by the Kachwaha Rajput king Sawai Jai Singh II, the founder of Jaipur, Rajasthan. The
monument was completed in 1734.[1][2] It
features the world's largest stone sundial, and
is a UNESCO World
Heritage site.[1][3] It
is located near City Palace and Hawa Mahal.[4] The
instruments allow the observation of astronomical positions with the naked eye.[1] The
observatory is an example of the Ptolemaic positional astronomy which was
shared by many civilizations.[1][2]
The monument features instruments operating in each of the three
main classical celestial coordinate systems: the
horizon-zenith local system, the equatorial system, and the ecliptic system.[2] The Kapala
Yantraprakara is one that works in two systems and allows transformation
of the coordinates directly from one system to the other.[5]
The monument was damaged in the 19th century. Early restoration
work was undertaken under the supervision of Major Arthur
Garrett, a keen amateur astronomer, during his appointment as Assistant State
Engineer for the Jaipur District.[6]
6. Hawaii
Mahal Jaipur.
Hawa Mahal (English translation: "The
Palace of Winds" or "The Palace of Breeze") is a palace in Jaipur,
India. Made with the red and pink sandstone, the
palace sits on the edge of the City Palace, Jaipur, and extends to the Zenana, or women's chambers.
The structure was built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh,
the grandson of Maharaja Sawai Jai
Singh, who was the founder of Jaipur.[1] He
was so inspired by the unique structure of Khetri Mahal that he built this grand and
historical palace. It was designed by Lal Chand Ustad. Its unique five floors
exterior is akin to the honeycomb of a beehive with its 953 small windows
called Jharokhas decorated with intricate latticework.[2] The
original intent of the lattice design was to allow royal ladies to observe
everyday life and festivals celebrated in the street below without being seen,
since they had to obey the strict rules of "purdah", which forbade
them from appearing in public without face coverings. This architectural
feature also allowed cool air from the Venturi effect to pass through, thus
making the whole area more pleasant during the high temperatures in summer.[2][3][4] Many
people see the Hawa Mahal from the street view and think it is the front of the
palace, but in reality it is the back of that structure.[5]
