If you are loking for a perfect holiday destination in this summer, City Palace Jaipur is the best place to visit. A treasure trove of royal acquisitions, the City Palace, is situated at the heart of Jaipur. Each and every corner of this grandiose edifice enters through a person's eyes but descends directly to one's heart. Filled with interesting and enticing artifacts, the royal palace is both a repository of the culture and a family album of the long line of maharajas who ruled this Pink City for so many years. An impeccable blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture, the City Palace complex occupies a large area segregated into a series of voluminous courtyards, alluring gardens and magnificent buildings. A hybrid of magnum opera of different artists, a visit to the City Palace is a real joie de vivre.
The famous City Palace of Jaipur has tremendous attractions. Before the palace, proper lies the Mubarak Mahal (Welcome Palace), built in the late 19th century by Maharajah Sawai Madho Singh II as a reception for visiting dignitaries. The Mahal, now amended into a museum, contains a superb collection of royal costumes and exquisite shawl collections including Sanganeri block prints, Kashmiri Pashmina shawls, folk embroideries and Benares silk saris. Don't forget to see the spanned out pajamas and coat of Sawai Madho Singh I, a well-built man 6 ½ feet tall , over 4 feet wide and weighed 250 kg. Imagine how many artists had put their efforts to make this regalia.
Walk through the corridors and enjoy the vicarious feeling of grandeur clubbed together with true aristocratic taste. The hall is a magnificent arena of ardent portrays, untouched by the hands of time. The colossal life size paintings of the mighty kings, with lavish mustaches and copious beards are disturbingly real.
A must see among the City Palace attractions is the Maharani's palace, which houses an awe-inspiring collection of weaponry dating back to the 15th century. The ceiling of the hall is embellished with extraordinary frescoes, the colors of which are derived from semi-precious jewel dust. The covert is a nice playground for colors, which change themselves a thousand times during the day. The hall is also a hub of bewildering elements like the gruesome Rajput scissor-action daggers. When the dagger enters the body, the handles are released to spread the blades. The dagger is withdrawn virtually disemboweling the hapless victim. One of the displays is the katar, a two-sided blade with a grip handle that has an outer covering. It was hitched to the waistband worn by the men over their tunics. These ornamental daggers with their handles were worn on formal occasions with ceremonial costumes. Enjoy the endless battle between your heart and mind, the former willing to touch the bedazzling artifacts while the latter, going along with the age-old warning "Do not Touch". Enjoy the City Palace attractions in Jaipur.
