JAIPUR - Sheer Symphony in pink
JAIPUR - INTRODUCTION
Of all the princely states of yore in India, Rajputana
(the region around Jaipur) is undoubtedly the one with
the most martial record. It was a state of warring factions
locked in deadly warfare, thousands of royal ladies
consigning themselves to flames preferring death to
dishonor. In this land, towering forts were built not
only for ostentation but also to intimidate the enemy.
Stranger was the life of some of its warrior kings,
who fought great battles on one hand and were great
patrons of arts on the other.
Today, Jaipur is the personification of the old order
influence the new. An inherent feel for color and design
percolated ever stratum of society, and jewelry, crafts
and architecture became objects of delight equally between
prince and peasant.
