Jaipur city palace is one of the most
recommended visits if you are in this jaipur city of rajhastan . It is located
in the old area of Jaipur, Near to the Hawa Mahal, or Palace of the Winds, and
the Jantar Mantar. In the heart, go.
Entering pass the Palace of Jaipur value 180
INR, although if you want to take mobile and camera with you so you will have
to pay another extra charge 100 INR and INR 200 if you record videos, I have
already explained to you on this occasion that the cost of ticket in India is
very cheap for local people compared to the foreigners.
Before entering the City Palace
of Jaipur, We lived one of
those normal water disasters of those monsoons which left us dry in the matter
of seconds. The water dragged everything and I can assure you that the sewage
system is not as efficient in India, so imagine what we saw in those waters.
But let's leave our war stories and focus on
this imposing complex. It has buildings, gardens, courtyards and walls. At
present it has a fairly large part that can be visited, and another that is
closed to the public. An example of this is the Chandra Mahal which still
serves as the residence of the current Maharaja of Jaipur.
What I remember quite clearly from the Jaipur
Palace is the mix of styles that could be seen throughout the complex. Let's
say it was a fusion between the architecture of the Rajhastan area and the
influence of the powerful Mughals, whose buildings we could contemplate during
the entire trip to India . The buildings are milk, and the colorful mix between
pink and ivory is very showy.
In one of the areas visited, I remember that
there was a kind of museum of clothes of the Maharajas. It's something like
when we're in a cathedral and you start to see clothes of former bishops and
cardinals, but in their Hindu version.
What struck us most about this museum was the
image of a certain Sawai Masho Singh I who would have left any sumo wrestler at
the height of bitumen. The type measured 2 meters high, had a wingspan of 1.2
meters wide and weighed 250 pounds. The best of all is that the crack was a
conqueror, because he had 108 wives.
Another interesting area of the palace is
the arsenal where there were lots of daggers and very cool swords, in addition
to many mirrors and ceilings inlaid with gold. The courtrooms are also amazing
and can be visited.
However, more than the interior and the
collections of wealth of the maharajas, to me what I most speechless, are the
patio doors, the buildings and some bas-reliefs with motifs of peacocks that
are a true work of art. It is noted that the money of the maharajas could hire
the best craftsmen.
It is at least curious to see the opulent
places in which the maharajas live and live and compare them with similar
places in other cultures and countries. The truth is that so much wealth and
ostentation collides much more in places like India where social inequalities are much more marked than in
Western countries.
