Lavanya, Mitu, Sandy Begum, Selvi, Adwi🤗

Ok , I saw Manu's Madhuri avatar ( why is the avatar here different from the Jalal-Jodha dp that I see in my signature disabled posts?).😕

But Lana's and Lashy's avatars not visible ( could be desktop issue, but they are the same as the dp, right?) .😭

Bindup, finally saw your signature.

Adwi ,too, has the new banner avatar?😲

But don't you find the signatures so distracting, Sahibas?

Lavanya, thank you so much for the valuable information about the places that you visited in Jaipur, Sahiba. So many exotic places to visit.

Selvi, just the places to go for a weekend getaway. Magnificent scenic snaps! Lana and Lashy Sahiba , our sea nymphs, are going to go ballistic!👍🏼 🤗

THANK YOU MY DEAR MANASI FOR POSTING THE PICS THAT I SHARED

AND THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR COMMENTS

YES LASHY, EVEN THOUGH OUR TRIP WAS SHORT IT WAS QUITE ENJOYABLE AND EVENTFUL. SINCE I HAD BEEN TO JAIPUR EARLIER, THIS TIME I WANTED TO SEE ONLY THOSE THINGS THAT I HAD MISSED OUT

SO ABOUT AMER FORT - IT WAS INITIALLY BUILT BY THE MEENAS, BUT THE KACHHWAHA KING RAJA MAN SINGH RULED IT FROM 1550-1614. IT USED TO OVERLOOK THE MAOTA LAKE WHICH, NOW, HAS DRIED AND IS USED AS A PARKING LOT 😉 THE TWO MAIN THINGS IN THE FORT IS THE SUKH MAHAL (NO PIC) WHERE A WATER CASCADE WAS CREATED AND WINDS BLEW THROUGH THAT TO GIVE SOME RELIEF FROM THE SEARING HEAT. AND THE SHEESH MAHAL WHICH HAS SEVERAL MIRRORS, AND AT NIGHT WHEN EVEN ONE LAMP WOULD BE LIT, THE EFFECT OF THE LIGHT THROUGH REFLECTION WAS SUPERB. APART FROM THESE TWO STRUCTURES, THERE ARE GATES TO THE FORT CALLED POL - SOORAJ POL AND GANESH POL WHICH WAS NOTEWORTHY

LATER DESCENDENTS ADDED AND ENHANCED THE FORT. BUT NOW IT IS UNDER THE GOVT AND IN SERIOUS DISREPAIR

JAIN TEMPLE - THERE ARE SEVERAL IN JAIPUR AND AROUND. BUT WE VISITED THE ONE ON SANGANER. SANGANER IS AN ADJOINING TOWN KNOWN FOR BLOCK PRINTING. LOT OF BLOCK PRINTING UNITS ARE THERE. I BOUGHT A FEW BEDSHEETS. QUITE REASONABLE I MUST SAY. THIS TEMPLE IS MAINLY OF BHAGWAN AADINATHJI. BUT THE ARCHITECTURE IS FABULOUS IN BOTH RED SANDSTONE (OUTSIDE) AND MARBLE (INSIDE) WHERE TAKING PHOTOS WAS NOT ALLOWED. THE STYLE OF ARCHITECTURE HERE IS SIMILAR TO THE DILWARA TEMPLES NEAR UDAIPUR

HAWA MAHAL OR THE PALACE OF WINDS WAS BUILT IN 1790s. IT IS LIKE A HONEYCOMB WITH MORE THAN 900 JHAROKHAS OR WINDOWS. MAINLY BUILT FOR WOMEN TO ENJOY FESTIVITIES WITHOUT BEING SEEN, AND A SYSTEM CALLED THE VENTURI EFFECT WHICH ALLOWS COOL WIND TO PASS THROUGH AND KEEPS THE AREA COOL. THE PICTURE THAT I HAVE POSTED IS ACTUALLY THE BACK OF THE BUILDING. IT WAS BEAUTIFULLY LIT UP AT NIGHT.

ALBERT HALL MUSEUM IS THE OLDEST MUSEUM IN THE STATE IN THE BEAUTIFUL AND HUGE RAM NIWAS BAGH. ORIGINALLY BUILT AS A TOWN HALL, BUT LATER CONVERTED INTO A MUSEUM. IT HAS PAINTINGS, AND ARTIFACTS IN IVORY METAL AND CRYSTAL. IT IS NAMED AFTER THE PRINCE OF WALES. AGAIN THIS PIC IS TAKEN AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS LIT UP

STEP WELL AT ABHANERI - THE CHAND BAORI IS ABOUT 100 KMS FROM JAIPUR AND THE MOST ASTOUNDING N WONDROUS STEP WELL I HAVE SEEN TILL DATE. IT HAS 3500 STEPS. IT WAS BUILT BY RAJA CHAND OR CHANDRA IN THE 8 TH CENTURY. THERE IS A SUMMER PALACE HERE TOO WHERE KINGS AND QUEENS USED TO ENJOY COOLER CLIMES DURING SUMMERS. IT IS SAID THAT DURING FESTIVE OCCASIONS, DIYAS WERE PLACED ON EACH STEP AND IT LOOKED SUPERB. EARLIER THE WATER LEVEL WAS MUCH HIGHER AND IN THE MONSOONS A THIRD OF THE STEPS WERE COVERED. VISITORS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER THE STEPS AREA. IT IS CORDONED OFF. RIGHT NEXT TO THIS IS AN OLD DEVI TEMPLE MADE OF ROCKS. THAT TOO IS QUITE NICE

LANA, I FULLY ENDORSE YOUR IDEA OF VISITING RAJASTHAN. IT IS SUPERB PLACE WITH LOTS TO OFFER. AND YOUR TYPICAL PLAN SHOULD INCLUDE JODHPUR, JAISALMER, UDAIPUR, BARMER BIKANER AND THEN JAIPUR WITH EXTRA DAYS FOR VISITING SIGHTS AROUND EACH CITY

EVEN THOUGH EVERY PLACE IS BEAUTIFUL BUT THE FORTS IN JODHPUR AND JAISALMER ARE MUCH BETTER PRESERVED THAN IN OTHER PLACES, MAINLY BECAUSE THE ROYAL FAMILY STILL CONTROLS THEM

Good Morning dearies!

Heroes come in many forms
But mine dresses in military uniform
Blood is shed and help is cried
So I can claim freedom loud and mine
While you my dear are gone and away
I'm praying to the lord wishing you had stayed
Though sometimes it's hard and I get sad
I write letters to you that make me glad
And one day I hope you'll see
Just how much you mean to me
Strong and proud, dressed in green , I nod
You're always my favorite Ustaad!

Manu vaada raha, agar main jaayoongi toh tujhe zaroor batayoongi!! 😃 And if your parents permit then you can accompany me to one of the finest destination in India. Maze karte huye jaayenge!! And will dedicate our trip to Mr. Darcy and will make a memorable Darcynama!! 😉😆

Waise, you have never been to Rajasthan? It is near to Delhi.

👏👏👏

I will always be your Love, Your Heera,

And you will forever be my Love's aura!!

Being enclosed in your arms of passion,

I sigh in peace and lie in a relaxed fashion,

It not only soothes but gives me protection,

And I revel in all your unfathomed affection!!

Lavanya -spectacular sights of Jaipur. Thank you for sharing and Manu , thanks for posting them, dear. 🤗

Thanks Sandy Begum for the explanation about the step well- all admiration for the innovative craftsmen of that era.😊

And Manu- loved the way you appreciated the new banner - first your sweet comments and then your shairi.👏
