Place
to see at Jaipur:-
Nahargarh Fort
Nahagarh Fort stands on the edge of the Aravalli
Hills, overlooking the pink city of Jaipur in the Indian state
of Rajasthan. The view of the city from the fort is breath
taking. Along with Amber Fort and Jaigarh Fort it formed a
strong defence ring for the city. During the Sepoy revolt
of 1857, Nahagarh served as a refuge for Europeans fleeing
from the havoc created by mutineers in neighboring states.
The word Nahargarh means the abode of tigers. Legends say
that it was name after Prince Nahar whose spirit haunted the
place and obstructed construction of the fort.
Amber Palace
The Amber Palace complex overlooking the artificial lake south
of Amber town is one of the most popular tourist sites in
the city, famous for its mixture of Hindu and Muslim architecture,
and offering elephant rides from the town up to the palace
courtyard. However, although the structure is today known
as Amber fort, the complex was initiatlly a Palace Complex
within the Fort of Amber which is today known as Jaigarh fort.
Jaigarh Fort
The Jaigarh Fort on the hills above the Amber Palace complex
offers stunning views of the foothills of the Aravalli range,
as well as attractions such as immense underground water-storage
tanks, a medieval canon foundry and an impressive collection
of medieval cannons including the Jaivana which is reputed
to be the world's largest cannon on wheels. Historically this
was the original Amber Fort, although it became known as Jaigarh
from the time of Sawai Jai Singh II onwards.
Jal Mahal
is located in Jaipur India, which is the capital of the State
of Rajasthan. It is on the way to Sisodia garden. The rajput
style "Water Palace" sits in the center of the Man
Sarobar lake. The lake is often dry in the summer but winter
