Jaipur City Palace – Keep Calm and Wander

Jaipur City Palace - Alain Jaipur City Palace is your window to royal extravagance of ancient India. The complex is a maze of courtyards, palaces and architectural beauty, ready to blow your mind away. And oh, it’s super pink, too, like the rest of the city. This Palace was used as a royal residence of the Singh family who ruled the city for a long time. This isn’t just huge but it’s also a marvellous place to learn history and admire its architectural designs. It’s right in the heart of the old city surrounded by pink buildings. Thus, it got its monicker, “The Pink City.” The City Palace in Jaipur is a mix of Mughal, Rajput and European architectural influences. As soon as you enter the courtyard, Mubarak Mahal greets you in all its splendour. In Urdu, Mubarak can be translated into auspicious. Today, it’s a textile museum with great collections of royal clothes.
