Jaipur City, India's Rajasthan state's capital, is popularly known as The Pink City for its dominantly pink-colored buildings and is one of India's golden triangles. It was previously ranked first among India's tourist spots, earning TripAdvisor's 2015 Traveller's Choice Awards for Destination. Wander around the palaces in Jaipur and start at Hawa Mahal, built in 1799. The castle is covered in rows and columns of 53 windows with pink accents that vary in size and narrowness to depict the crown of the Hindu god Krishna. Inside the palace, you may find a small museum readily available for those who want to learn about the history of the royal building. Adding to the list, Jaipur also has the almost 300-year-old, classy City Palace, serving as the home of Jaipur's royal family. Admire the Jal Mahal as it stands, seemingly lost on the tranquil Man Sagar Lake. Jaipur also takes pride in constructing the Galta Ji, built on a natural spring, as the people's way of gratifying their deities by giving them a water source. Going to the exhibition, you may look at the preserved Egyptian mummy at the Albert Hall Museum alongside other remarkable cultural, historical, and artistic artifacts. Indians are naturally intelligent people, so it is only fitting to display imaginative historical inventions such as the larger-than-human-size astronomical instruments made by Jai Singh in Jantar Mantar. If you still have time for a small hike, visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Amber Fort, in America and enjoy its artistic style elements and architectural design. ◄
