One of the aspects of Indian culture that tourists will notice upon their visit and their stay in the Jaipur luxury hotels, is the the city stresses the importance of scientific thinking, the idea the the logical mind is the part of the soul that supports the beliefs of religion. This is evident in the Jaipur Observatory, the same observatory built by the king three hundred years ago upon his insistence that the stars and the night skies, that the study of astronomy held importance. Jaipur is the site for many festivals and cultural events and religious celebrations. To be in the Pink City during one of these events is truly spectacular, as the pale pink walls are the perfect contrast to the colorful parades and processions. The people are dressed in their best, and decorated heavily with gold and silver bangles and necklaces. March is one of the times of these such festivals, as the Elephant Festival takes place. For not only are the people dressed in their colorful best, the gentle beasts are as well.
And any time of year is good for a visit to Old Jaipur. This is a place for sweet tooths, where it is not fresh fruit in the markets and the stands, but some of the most exotic candies and pastries in the world. There are so many different kinds of sweet treats, that one will simply loose count, especially in the shops of Laksmi Mishthan Bhandar. This is not an area for those concerned with calorie or sugar content, this is an experience for those on vacation from every aspect of real life, including their diets. And many of the restaurants in the area serve up food from various ethnicity’s, while live dance and music is performed or maybe even one of the elegant and delicate Indian Puppet shows. Jaipur is city of many colors, set in a back drop of pink, and should be visited at least once in ones lifetime.
