Jaipur Trip



During our visit to Jaipur, we explored several iconic landmarks:

• Hawa Mahal – A magnificent palace built from red and pink sandstone, situated on the edge of the City Palace complex and extending to the Zenana, or women’s chambers.

• City Palace – A former royal residence located in the heart of the old city, showcasing a beautiful blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture. Its carved arches rest on brown marble pillars adorned with floral motifs of gold and colored stones, and two intricately carved marble elephants stand as sentinels at the entrance.

• Raj Mandir Cinema – A renowned cinema hall celebrated for its grand scale and lavish, ornate interiors. Despite its size, it remains packed with visitors and continues to be an important part of Jaipur’s tourist circuit. It is owned and operated by the Bhuramal Rajmal Surana Group, a prominent jewelry house in the city.

• Akshardham Temple – A stunning temple dedicated to Lord Narayan, known for its exquisite architecture, intricate carvings, and beautifully crafted sculptures.


We enjoyed a delightful meal and dessert at LMB (Laxmi Misthan Bhandar).
