Jaipur B2B
Popular as the one of the most famous cities in India, Jaipur is the gem set in the crown of Indian Tourism. The city is also called Pink City and is regarded as the epicentre of cultural riches. Jaipur was built on the theory of Vastu Shastra (Indian archaeological science) as the first planned city.
Jaipur was created by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II on 18 November 1727 AD and christened after him. Rajasthan's capital city draws the attention of foreign travellers and makes it a major tourist destination in India and Rajasthan.
With lively markets situated in the narrow and busy alleys, the city is small. These shops are renowned for having handicrafts and ethnic products and are the best places where you can learn more about the city's culture. Jaipur is also renowned for organising flourishing festivals and thrilling fairs, in addition to shops. Some of the cultural festivals in Jaipur are the Teej festival, the Jaipur Kite Festival, and the Camel Festival. While the Jaipur Literature Festival is one of its kinds, it is considered to be the largest lit festival where poets, authors, philosophers and philanthropists from all over the world come under one roof to discuss one different subject.
Jaipur is also renowned for its forts , palaces, and historical and heritage sites, along with its shops, fairs and festivals. The stunning fort that is a popular tourist centre in the city is Amber Fort. Hawa Mahal is also a beautiful palace; from the 953 jharokas of the palace, people can see the charming view of the city here. The City Palace, Jantar Mantar and Albert Hall also play a key role in tourism in Jaipur.
Jaipur is narrowly divided into two sections: Old Jaipur and New Jaipur. Old Jaipur typically falls within the enormous boundaries originally formed by Maharaja Jai Sighn II, while the city beyond the boundary gives a glimpse of the modern lifestyle. Broad highways, enormous new constructions, lush parks, Cineplex and Hyper Malls and Discs and clubs can be found here.
The whole city was painted in the welcome hues of pink in 1876 when Prince Albert and Queen Elizabeth II visited India and thus became popular throughout the world as the Pink City. In India, together with the cities of Delhi and Agra, Jaipur also forms a wonderful Golden Triangle Circuit, both of which are as important as Jaipur in terms of tourism. Foreign tourists are fond of visiting the Golden Triangle Circuit and enjoying the city's rich history, heritage and traditions.

The 5-storeyed structure was built from sandstone, as with most of the Rajput palaces, and was abandoned due to a whole host of reasons. In fact, the Jal Mahal is partially submerged in water and only the top floor is visible to the public. Over a decade ago, restoration efforts helped restore major submerged parts of the palace, and the palace was illuminated with lights, providing for a spectacular night view of it.
