New Jaipur

Just few kms away from the old town there is the new Jaipur, the capital of Rajastan.

It was founded 300 years ago when the old Jaipur was abandoned by its inhabitants.

It is a busy 3 million people city, with heavy traffic and intense life.

It is also known as the Pink City because all the buildings are pink.



This is the palace of the Maraja. He and his family is actually still living here so it is possible to visit only some parts of the palace.

Inside the palace there's a museum with many paintings, weapons, furnitures, clothes and many other kind of items that were of common use in the past.


Don't have so many pictures here couse we actually spent most of the time in the car (damned traffic) and in this palace, inside which it is not possible to take pictures.
