About - Jaipur Walks

The transcendent beauty of Jaipur lies in its rich and diverse cultural heritage. Soaked in majestic pink, the exquisite architecture of the Pink City indisputably narrates its historic royal bequest. The bounteous charm behind its pink colour dates back to 1876 when Raja Sawai Jai Singh ji welcomed the Prince of Wales by painting the entire city in vibrant pink—symbolising hospitality and honesty. Since then, the legacy has been carried forward by its residents and today, the magnificent city has captivated plethora of tourists from around the globe – legendary hospitality, warm culture, royalty, workmanship, architecture, traditions, art, jewellery and textiles have always charmed them. Built in AD 1727 by Raja Sawai Jai Singh ji, along with his trusted and skilled architects, it is commemorated for being one of the first planned cities of the Indian subcontinent – from uniformity of quaint market towns to clean cut designs as well as the grandeur its traditional structures present – everything is planned strategically and with great intricacies. However, there are infinite fables that speak about the city’s glorious past.

Despite its soaring modernisation and an added title of the ‘metro city’ to its royal cap, the Pink City has held itself to its roots and culture. Jaipur Walks is a tribute to the colourful city of Rajasthan, known for its eternal heritage. These walks offer a perfect appetite for your wilderness to explore the enchanting city of Jaipur—serene temples, extravagant havelis, forts, folklore, quaint market towns and treasured art. They offer spectacular experience of remarkable lanes of the city walled by legendary tales.

The walks take you through the old blocks or chowkris like Modikhana, Vishverwarji , Ghat Darwaza and Topkahana Desh, and they are absolutely devouring. For travellers, its an enthralling experience to interact with the skilled artisan communities namely thatheras (metal-utensil makers), manihars (lac bangle makers), marble-sculpture makers, neelgars (tie-and-dye community), pannigars (silver- and gold-foil makers), meenakari and kundan workers (gold enamellers) who have been carrying the legacy of their forefathers proudly.

Jaipur is a repository of sacred and serene temples – boasting about their high spiritual significance. Jaipur Walks offers you a fascinating insight to the diverse faiths that have for centuries, influenced the lives of people here. The temple of Anant Dev holds a remarkable significance for being one of the only two temples present in the country, the other being in Chennai. Further Sanghi Jhuta Ram Jain temple, depicting ecstatic work of frescos and meenakari; Sita-Ram Ji temple, known for its artistically crafted wall sculptures; Chaturbhuj temple, famous for its magnificent wall paintings; Balanand Ji Ka Math, the only temple in India related to Vaishnav Naga ascetics; and Gopinath Temple, showcasing bhakti tradition are truly mesmerizing.
