Jaipur SplendorCoffee Table Book

A delicate blend of old and new, Jaipur is a vibrant city full of energy, colour, and grandeur. With a history of maharajas, emperors, and queens, the capital of Rajasthan has a prestigious heritage and an esteem that continues to this day. The City Palace, a sprawling complex of buildings and courtyards, is a testament to Jaipur’s magnificence and still serves as the home of the former royal family. The impressive and intricate Hawa Mahal, composed of pink and orange sandstone, helped lend Jaipur its nickname, ‘the Pink City’. But Jaipur is more than just splendid palaces and enchanting jewels. The bustling bazaars, traditional handmade crafts, and delicious street food truly embody the city’s dynamic spirit. Jaipur is at its most lively during the annual celebration of Holi, an ebullient ‘festival of colours’ that heralds eternal love and the arrival of spring. JAIPUR SPLENDOR is a dazzling tour of this one-of-a-kind city. - Authors: Mozez Singh, HH Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh of Jaipur - Hardcover edition with 304 pages - Language: English - Edition: 2022 - Publisher: Assouline Made in Italy
