Capital of the state of Rajasthan the “Land of Maharajas”, Jaipur is the flag bearer of one of the most vibrant regions of India. Rajasthan has so much to offer to its visitors - arid landscape dotted with majestic forts and imposing palaces, vibrant culture, colourful people, appealing folklores and exciting tales of extraordinary valour, and Jaipur is no different.          

Perched in between the Thar Desert and the Aravali range Jaipur has always played a pivotal role in the history of Rajasthan. It had been one of the main power centres during the days when Rajasthan was fragmented kingdoms and principalities. The Jaipur we see of today is mostly the contribution of the Kachawa Rajputs who ruled Jaipur from the 16th century.   

One of the modern cities of independent India, one can find ample evidence of the rich history and culture of Jaipur in its imposing heritage buildings and folk performances.
