My Jaipur Trip Part -1

Historical city Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan state of India, which is about 280 kilometers away from India's capital Delhi. Jaipur is also known as Pink City. The city of Jaipur was founded by Maharaja Jai Singh II (Maharaja of Aamer). In the name of his name, the city named Jaipur. Jaipur has many tourist attractions in the city which draws tourists from all over India. We longed to go there for a long time but it's not easy to find time in a busy life nowadays. After all, we took the time out and made a program to roam Jaipur. There are many ways to go to Jaipur like rail, bus, taxi or airplane. Bus takes about 5-6 hours. We decided to go Jaipur by train. Many trains from Delhi go to Jaipur, Any ordinary train takes five to five and a half hours, on this route also runs a Shatabdi Train which takes about four and a half hours. Today is the time of internet, the train tickets and hotels are booked online. So finally, the day of departure for Jaipur came. Our train was to run from Sarai Rohilla station in Delhi and we reached the station at the right time, and our Train also started at the right time. We were very happy, we were waiting for a long time to go to Jaipur. It seemed as if any dream came true. Train took five hours to reach Jaipur and we reached Jaipur at around 9:30 pm. Our hotel, Hotel Shagun was very near to Railway station. The hotel was not very big but it was just fine for us. The hotel rooms were also neat and clean. The room was air conditioned and there was a arrangement for TV as well .

The hotel manager was a very good and helpful person. He arranged a car for us for sightseeing in Jaipur. The next morning we were ready to visit Jaipur and at the right time the car reached us and we got out to roam Jaipur. Where to go and how to go, we left all this to the driver. The Driver brought us to Laxmi Narayan temple first of all . 

Lakshmi Narayan temple is also known as Birla Mandir. This temple is also located in many other cities of India. Lakshmi Narayan Temple of Jaipur is made of white marble and is very gorgeous. This place which is situated at the height is very beautiful and charming, there is plenty of greenery around the temple. There are idols and images of many deities, which bring much reverence to the person. Mobile use and photo capture in the main chamber of the temple is forbidden. Coming here, the mind was very relaxed and We did not feel like going from here.

Our next destination was the Hawa Mahal. Hawa Mahal is situated near the famous Johri Bazar (Jeweler Market). It was built in 1798 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh. It was mainly made for the ladies of the royal family so that they could enjoy the events and festivals on the road from within, because they were not allowed to go out. It was a very beautiful building. Hawa Mahal has been constructed from the red and pink sandstone. We spent some time here and even photographed.

After this we went to another famous tourist spot Jantar Mantar. Jantar Mantar, Jaipur is an astronomical observatory. There is a total of 5 Jantar Mantar in the country, besides Jaipur, Jantar Mantar is also in Delhi, Ujjain, Varanasi, and Mathura. In the whole country, There are 5 Jantar Mantar in total. Jantar Mantar of Jaipur is the largest in all of them. They were built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh, who himself was also an astronomer. In Jantar Mantar, there are 19 different types of instruments, which show local time of day, prediction of eclipse and position of constellations. These instruments are still used for astrology and weather related activities and the information they get is accurate. The guides present there were giving information about these machines to the tourists and also talking about the methodology. The Emperor clock is the largest instrument, its height is about 90 feet, which gives information about time. Apart from the Indians, many foreign tourists also had come to visit Jantar Mantar. After staying in Jantar Mantar for some time we walked towards the city palace of our next destination which is located near Jantar Mantar.
