Jaipur is the Capital of India's desert state, Rajasthan. Its rich cultural and architectural beauty has its roots in the tradition followed by
its Rajput rulers. Various aesthetic and historical places around the city stand testimony to its rich heritage. It is more popularly known as the
Pink City, because the houses and broadly laid-out avenues are painted in pink. A visit to this place helps you have a peep into the times of
bygone era.

some of the important attractions in Jaipur are listed below:
City Palace
The City Palace, an exponent of both Rajasthan and Mughal architecture, was the residence of the royal family. It has a huge complex
of courtyard and gardens, and buildings blend. The Peacock Gate of the palace has a wonderful display of excellent craftmanship featuring bright
peacocks. Inside the palace complex is an art gallery, museum, and an interesting display of old Indian weapons, artifacts and royal costumes.
"Hawa Mahal" Palace of the Winds
This is Jaipur's most famous building. The five floors of the Mahal contain a series of small windows and screens. All the windows overlook the
main street of the busy Old City. It was so built so that the women of the royal family could watch the street below without being observed. The
maze of pillars and passages is undoubtedly an architectural wonder. From the top of the building you can have a panoramic view of the city.
Galta Monkey Temple
This is a dilapidated holy Hindu temple, ensconced between two granite cliffs. Reaching the place is a bit tough but the serene locale makes
it worth the effort. One of the pools of the temple has been taken over completely by monkeys that enjoys splashing around in the waters.
Amber Fort and Palace
Amber Fort is located atop overlooking the Maota Lake. It has a number of halls, beautiful palaces, gardens and temples. The elaborate mirror
work inside-an essential aspect of Rajput craftsmanship-adds to the grandeur within. You can reach the fort by walking up the hill, a jeep ride,
or taking a elephant ride.
Nahargarh Fort
Nahargarh Fort is also known as Tiger Fort. It is located high on the Aravali Hills. The fort overlooks the Jaipur city. From here one can
have great sunset views.
Jaigart Fort
This massive fort is flanked by watchtowers and towering gateways. It showcases the world's largest cannon on wheels. This is one of the
most well preserved forts in the country.
Jantar Mantar Observatory
Jantar Mantar, built between 1727 and 1734, has 14 structures which measures time, predict eclipses and track stars. The samrat Yantra sundial
is the most impressive.
Government Museum
