Detailed itinerary

Tripolia Bazaar is one of Jaipur’s famous landmarks. Some

scenes in John Madden’s 2011 comedy film ‘The Best Exotic

Marigold Hotel’ were shot here. The Bazaar is famous for its

brass, steel, lead, tin and copper utensils.

The shop sells Indo-

Western garments. They also sell fabric that is printed with

hand-blocks. Hand-block is an old art form and a Jaipur

speciality. It uses blocks of various designs to emboss beautiful

prints on cloth.

Stop 5

Jaipur’s most iconic structures. . It is an amazing sight of a sprawling red structure.. This was built in 1799 by the poet king Sawai Pratap Singh. The monument showcases an excellent blend of Hindu Rajput architecture with that of Islamic Mughal. The fluted pillars and floral design represent Hindu architectural traditions.

This 150-year-old store is now being run by the sixth generation of the same family. The store has a breath-taking range of sarees, fabrics and Rajputi poshak - a traditional dress worn by the women of the Rajput community. The fabric is mostly bandhej, which is a form of the famous tie-and-dye technique.

Johari Bazaar, as I mentioned earlier, is a locality for jewellers. The shops here deal with jewellery made out of gold, silver, diamond and other precious and semi-precious stones. Some of the jewellers are known for their specific workmanship. One such traditional method of gemstone carving is Kundan, dating back to the Mughal period.

Stop 8

Named after Mahatma Gandhi, lovingly called Bapu which means Father, this road is a shopper’s delight. You will get everything that Jaipur is famous for in this small lane - from bandhej and hand block fabrics to apparels, the famous quilts of Jaipur, artefacts, jewellery and accessories, bangles made of lac, idols made of marble and a lot more.
