Be it the magnificent, intricately decorated fort of Amber or the Grand and majestic Jaigarh fort overlooking the town with the City Palace at its center, they all stand witness as well as a proof of the times of great opulence that this city has seen. Tales related to almost everything associated with this city can be heard from the people. Meeting a senior citizen of the town during your stay in a family will introduce you to the nostalgia people still hold about the royal past of the city.

The age-old traditions of the society can be seen by the way people socialise or simply by how those traditional values remain alive in the families that form the basis of the social setup. An early morning visit to the Govind Dev Ji temple shall impress any visitor by the deep-rooted religiousness of the people, and with hundreds of devotees gathering every morning to chant prayers of Lord Krishna in unison.

Being a town of world fame for its stone and enameled jewelry, Jaipur also offers a one-stop destination for those who seek excellence in handiwork. Besides its jewelry, the bazaars of Jaipur offer the products of the superb craftsmanship of the people of Rajasthan.
