The time I spent in Jaipur was way too little. I promise that next time I will spent more time in The Land Of Kings<\/em>, as Rajasthan translates to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jawahar Circle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is claimed to be the biggest circular park in Asia developed on a roundabout with a diameter of about 452 m. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We did not go inside, otherwise we would have had a change to see an Egyptian mummy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hawa Mahal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I figure now that Mahal <\/em>means palace<\/em>. The original intent of the very small windows was for the royal ladies to observe street life without being seen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most interesting things I saw was this Escher-like stepwell, designed to catch rain water doubling as a resting place for travelers, as the temperature inside this structure is a lot cooler. Looking at the stairs may make you have vertigo, so watch out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shila Mata Mandir Amber Fort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the many hill forts of Rajastan (and one of the many Unesco World Heritage Sites in India), you fall from one surprise into the other. Because the emperor had many wives, he used secret passage ways to get to one, not wanting to make the other wifes aware of his location. Also located were elephants used as a tourist attraction, of which no photos were taken as elephants should not be used for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A quick stop at the aptly called Water Palace<\/em>. It indeed does like it is sinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
