A TRIP TO JAIPUR - CITY PALACE (PART 1)

Everything is quite convenient these days, Thanks to the smooth internet facility we were able to book our OYO room during the journey.

It was going to be a tough day as a lot needed to be done before we went back; market research, sourcing fabrics, meeting block printing vendors, buying junk jewellery, capturing The city through my lens and much more.

WELL!! It looked simple but i knew it will be tiring, difficult and tough to achieve in one day. So without wasting much time, we took a shower and got ready for an amazing breakfast of rava upma and killer chai ( CHAI LOVER! ) .

There are three main gates to the Palace which are Tripolia gate, Virendra Pol and Udai Pol. Well my favourite spot was the third Courtyard. There are four smaller gates in third Courtyard, which are believed to represents four seasons. The Peacock Gate with motifs of peacocks on the doorway representing autumn and dedicated Lord Vishnuji, the Lotus Gate with continual flower and petal pattern is suggestive of summer season and dedicated to Lord Shiva-Parvati, the Green Gate also called the Leheriya gate, in green colour is suggestive of spring and dedicated to Lord Ganesha, and lastly, the Rose Gate with repeated flower pattern representing winter season and dedicated to Goddess Devi.

All these gates are decorated likewise and it is sheer delight to just look at these gates, and entering it is a bliss.

One of famous items in the City Palace are two silver jars which have found place the Guinness Book of World record as largest silver vessels in the world. They were made from 14,000 melted silver coins. These vessels were specially made by Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh II, to carry the water of the Ganges to drink on his trip to England, as he was finicky about committing religious sin by consuming the English water.There are a number of crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.

Apart from Mubarak Mahal and the Chandra Mahal, there are Pritam Niwas Chowk, Diwan-i-aam, Diwan-i-khas, Bhaggi khana, Maharani Palace and the Govind devji temple. It is quite a vast complex, so comfortable shoes or flat sleepers are preferrable as you will have to walk a lot, near about 2hrs. Thank God we were able to finish it by 11.20 a.m.The City Palace is a landmark in Jaipur and is also a very popular tourist hotspot. Apart from the regal architecture, the palace offers a stunning view of the Pink City and also an insight into the rich heritage of a bygone era. The City Palace is a must-see while visiting in Jaipur.

TILL THEN STAY STYLISH AND KEEP EXPLORING!!!LOVE YOU ALL #MYFITURIS
