The historic walled city of Jaipur which was recently inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The fortified city of Jaipur, in India’s north-western state of Rajasthan was founded in 1727 by Sawai Jai Singh II. Unlike other cities in the region located in hilly terrain, Jaipur was established on the plain and built according to a grid plan interpreted in the light of Vedic architecture. The city's urban planning shows an exchange of ideas from ancient Hindu and modern Mughal as well as Western cultures. Designed to be a commercial capital, the city has maintained its local commercial, artisanal and cooperative traditions to this day.
Our heritage home in Jaipur is located within 15 minutes’ walk to the historic centre of the walled city, also referred to as Old City or referred to as The Pink City area dotted with numerous ancient Pink buildings & bazaar housing the Hawa Mahal, City Palace & Jantar Mantar.

This ramshackle, dusty treasure trove is an extraordinary private collection. It contains folk-art objects and other pieces – there’s everything from a manuscript written by Aurangzeb and a 200-year-old mirror work swing from Bikaner to a glass bed (for a short queen). The museum is signposted off J Nehru Marg and unfortunately overpriced for overseas visitors.
