Jaipur embraces a royal past drenched
completely in extravagance. The city
possesses many lavish palaces clutching
several legends, enchanting travelers. The
city is popular for its monuments, palaces,
temples and gardens. All these places are
the specimens of the erstwhile era, where
once lived the royalty with complete power.
The art and craft of Jaipur is renowned
within and outside the country. The alluring
paintings portray the luxurious zeal that
the city’s culture embraces. The colorful
yet pleasing costumes and jewelry of Jaipur
are constantly in demand. Vivid and
enchanting puppets of Jaipur are known round
the world.
Still, there are few gems of Jaipur which
put it up bright on the world horizon. The
Jaipur Foot, Palace on Wheels, and the
renowned Raj Mandir Cinema Hall are few of
the solitaires of the city.
Jaipur Foot as the prosthetic foot from
Jaipur is renowned for its low-cost and
reliability. The development of Jaipur Foot
proved to be a remarkable achievement. A
fatigue machine that was constructed in
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Media Lab, tested the Jaipur Foot. It was
developed in the year 1968, and since then
has benefitted many amputees. According to a
research done by MIT, Jaipur Foot has
already helped 900,000 amputees till now.
The Palace on Wheels is well known for it’s
grandeur of royal tour on rails. The train
offers an exclusive tour all over Rajasthan
to selected stations. The tour harks back
the traveler to the erstwhile era of the
royal kings and their empires. The key
attraction in the entire tour of Rajasthan
several tourists is Jaipur, The Pink City.
This royal city leaves several memories to
be cherished.
Palace on Wheels is a well maintained train
with fourteen royal coaches. Each coach of
this royal train is named after the bygone
estates of former noble Rajputs. The train
is amongst the 10 best trains all over the
world.
Raj Mandir is one such unparalleled cinema
hall that is heartily uttered about. The
interiors of the cinema hall are embodiments
of royalty and lavish ethnicity that the
city is known for. Its flamboyant
architecture was planned by W.M. Namjoshi,
and was initiated in the year 1976.
Collectively, Jaipur is a destination that
embraces numerous sights worth visiting. Not
only in respect of tourism or tourists, but
the city is a hub for various flourishing
commercial activities. Jaipur is the most
preferred destination by the corporate
world, and has placed itself as one of the
foremost IT destinations.
As empathized, it is a dream for a
physically challenged person to be self
sustained. But these few dreams are such
that they change into reality and serve
mankind. Earlier, the prosthetic foot was so
costly that the people were not able to
afford it, but today, due to the Bhagwan
Mahaveer Viklang Sahayata Samiti, it is in
reach of every amputated one.
The other pride is the Palace on Wheels that
does not requires any introduction. The
train is amongst the 10 best trains all over
the world. It offers a world class
experience and a great tour to the city of
royalty. As Jaipur was developing with time,
it was not too far from possessing a big
silver screen of its own. Raj Mandir Theatre
is a cinema hall that is beautifully
designed and is one of its kinds. One can
even visit the theatre just to adore its
beauty.
Jaipur is popular for so many things that,
in spite of all the famous monuments, there
are few specialties belonging to the city.
