Statue Circle Jaipur
Statue Circle Jaipur is not only the most famed circle but the most swarmly situated too. Almost half the Jaipur passes by it. It is the favorite lounge of Jaipur and a place for evening out, with 'Meals on Wheels' standing by.
Strangely it acquires its name of statue circle after its figurine rather than the grand Sawai Jai Singh the founder of modern day Jaipur. His statue stands in full imperial symbols of staff and Jai Singh is made out to be holding out astrological diagrams to exemplify his proclivity for astrology.
The memorial is be fitting to the great sovereign, builder and futurist. The lighting and the colorful fountains cheer up the roundabout and its surrounds.
