Mubarak Mahal displays a vast and unique collection of royal costumes, delicate Pashmina shawls, Benaras silk saris, and other dresses with Sanganeri prints and folk embroidery. The clothes of Maharaja are also on display. The Maharani's Palace, has an interesting display of very well-preserved Rajput weaponry, some dating back to the 15 -16 th century.The palace was adorned with beautiful paintings on the ceiling that are well-maintained.!!
Then after having a loOk at the astonishing palace we moved towards the " Jantar Mantar"..
Jantar Mantar
It is one of the oldest astronomical observatories featuring the world’s largest stone sundial, located in the heart of Jaipur. It shows us the age old astronomy, and i was very eager to have a look at it.!!
- Alas , it is no longer a working science center but it is well maintained as a monument, The local guide gives you the best knowledge about the historical place..And you know what.., the Jantar Mantar in Jaipur is one of the largest observatories in the world, consists of remarkable stone and also interpret the position of celestial bodies and calculate local time.!!

Samrat Yantra
’ it calculates the time up to the accuracy of two seconds.!!
Laghu Smarat Yantra
This instrument was smaller in size, and measures the local time up to the accuracy of twenty seconds. The ramp of this sundial points towards the North Pole, so the local time in Jaipur can be easily calculated by measuring the position of ramp’s shadow on the divisions of the carved scale.
Ram Yantra
Ram Yantra measures the elevation of Sun and planets, and consists of a pair of tube- shaped structures, open to the sky. Ram Yantra is only found in Jantar Mantar of Jaipur and New Delhi..Then after exploring the whole place,we went to see the Hawa mahal.
.The Hawa Mahal
The hawa mahal is considered as one of the most iconic attractions of the city. The five-storey building looks like a honeycomb.!!
And as we entered in it, it feels windy inside, due to the numerous windows and jharokhas. Due to this amazing windy experience that the palace enjoys is the reason why it was named as the Hawa Mahal i think.
- The main purpose behind the construction of this palace was to allow the ladies of the royal family and the court to observe the busy streets of the Johari Bazaar from the many jharokhas of the palace, without being seen themselves.!!
There are as many thinks to do in jaipur as you started exploring it..
- The Jaigad fort, The Nahargarh fort, The albert museum is also fine example of the Rajasthani architectury.!!
JAL MAHAL
- IT was one of the most wonderful sights in Jaipur is the beautiful Jal Mahal or Lake Palace. The light, sand coloured stone walls and the deep blue of the water make for a wonderful mixture of the artwork The palace appears to be floating in the centre of Man Sagar Lake, its magnificent exteriors was just unforgettable.!!
