You may travel by a luxury tourist bus to get a different flavour  to the capital of Rajasthan, called Jaipur, Clothed in pink stucco (in imitation of sandstone), wide-avenue  Jaipur is one of the most important heritage cities in India.  Here follow in the footsteps of the royal regime, because “The Pink City” as it is often called, is unlike any other pre-modern Indian city, in that the entire town was planned according to the principles of Hindu architectural theory.
The city is in fact built in the form of a nine-part mandala known as the Pithapada, which combined with wide streets makes for an unusually airy and orderly atmosphere. That the results of this urban planning have so endured to this day is nothing short of miraculous. Enter the heart of the mandala (on foot or by cycle rickshaw) and you are in the central palace quarter, with its sprawling Hawa Mahal palace complex, formal gardens and a small lake. The “Palace of Winds” was part of the City Palace, an extension of the Zenana or chambers in the complex. Its original intention was to allow royal ladies to observe everyday life in the street below without being seen. Constructed of red and pink sandstone highlighted with white lime, the five-storied facade is peppered with many small windows. The breeze (hawa) that comes through the windows keeps it cool even in hot months, and gives the palace its name.
