Jaipur book by Assouline
Description
A delicate blend of old and new, Jaipur is a vibrant city full of energy, color and grandeur. With a history of maharajas, emperors and queens, the state capital of Rajasthan has a prestigious heritage and esteem that continues to this day. The City Palace, a sprawling complex of buildings and courtyards, is a testament to the magnificence of Jaipur and still serves as the residence of the former royal family. The impressive and intricate Hawa Mahal, made of pink and orange sandstone, helps give Jaipur its nickname, "the Pink City."
But Jaipur is much more than splendid palaces and enchanting jewels. The bustling bazaars, traditional handmade crafts and delicious street food truly embody the city's vibrant spirit. Jaipur is at its peak during the annual celebration of Holi, an exuberant “festival of colors” that heralds eternal love and the arrival of spring. Jaipur Splendor is a dazzling tour of this one-of-a-kind city.
