Jaipur
Hawa
Mahal is one of the most common and popular tourist attractions in
Jaipur. Hawa Mahal was basically used as a veil by the royal women
folk to watch the proceedings on the road below. Today it is the one
of most visited monuments in Jaipur. The City Palace is another beautiful
landmark that was built by Kachchwah Rajput rulers of Jaipur. The
City Palace is a classic example of Mughal and Rajput architecture.
A part of the palace today is museum that houses a collection of rare
manuscripts, weapons, Mughal carpets and costumes, and Mughal and
Rajasthani miniatures. 
Jantar
Mantar makes another wonderful sight to visit. Built in 1718 by Sawai
Jai Singh, Jantar Mantar Observatory is one of the five observatories
that were built by the king. The observatory was built to study the
movement of stars. The observatory is built in stone and marble. 
Built
on the hilltop outside Jaipur, Amber Fort is another famous tourist
attraction in Jaipur. The Amber Fort was built by Raja Man Singh in
the 16th century and was completed by Sawai Jai Singh in the 18th
century. The fort offers magnificent views of the surrounding area.
The fort is a mix of Mughal and Rajput architecture and is built in
red stone and white marble. 
The
Nahargarh Fort was built by Sawai Raja Jai Singh in 1734. Since Jaipur
was his capital, the Nahargarh Fort was strategically important and
was built as a means of bolstering the defense of Amer. It was also
known as the Tiger Fort. New additions were made to the fort in the
19th century by Sawai Ram Singh II and Sawai Madho Singh II. The older
parts of he fort are being hard hit by the ravages of times but the
newer additions are quite captivating. 
At
a distance of 15kms from Jaipur, stands the imposing Jaigarh Fort.
Also called the Victory Fort, the Jaigarh Fort stands in the midst
of thorn-scrub hills that impart a sterner look to the already forbidding
Fort. As one approaches the fort from the steep road that leads to
the main gate, the Dungar Darwaza, one cannot help but remark at the
amazing view it offers of the city below. The Jaigarh fort was built
to bolster up the defense of Amer, so one should not be amazed to
find that the fort unlike most palaces and forts of Jaipur is quite
plain and simple. It has moats and all the features you would expect
of a full-fledged citadel.
Jaipur
city is known for its many palaces and forts, which are a major attraction
for tourists to Rajasthan. One of these major landmarks of the 'pink
city' is the City Palace Complex. The City Palace was built by Maharaja
Jai Singh II of the Kachhwaha clan of Rajputs, but a lot of changes
and additions were made to the original structure by his successors. 
As
its name denotes, this is a palace built amidst a lake and intended
as the summer resort for the royal family. The palace is noted for
its intricate architecture.
