| Inside the City Palace |
City Palace might have been my favorite site that I visited
in Jaipur. Built from 1729 to 1732 by Sawai Jai Singh II it's a fusion of
Indian, Rajput, Mughal, and European architecture. It is also still the
residence of the royal family so it well maintained and also showcases
artifacts from their rule with clothing, the Sabka Niwas ( a room filled with
portraits of the Maharajas in one of the royal rooms), and an armory. That is
probably why I enjoyed it more there - the history of Jaipur was more tangible.
Unfortunately, many of these smaller attractions didn't allow for photography. Thankfully, the
surrounding walls and rooms of City Palace made up for it.
This post is the last of the India series and is more of a photo diary since I have covered most of the history surrounding Jaipur. If you want to learn more, you can check out my earlier posts
