Jaipur - City Palace

During our return journey from Delhi, we (me & Chandan) decided to visit major tourist attractions at Jaipur en-route to Mumbai. It took around three hours to reach us at Jaipur city palace one of the major tourist attraction in Jaipur. Also famous Jantar-Mantar & Hawa Mahal are in the vicinity. 

So we parked our car in the parking lot out side the city palace. Fist thing attracted my attentions was the cycle rickshaw stand, waiting for tourists. They will take you to Maharani Market, Hawa Mahal and Jantar Mantar with very nominal charges.

It was Saturday, and the palace was full of tourist, so taking pictures without people moving and distraction was difficult task. So I decided to look for smaller objects and close-ups without much distraction.

Then the other thing grab my attention was the entrance doors, the work around the entrance, beautifully designed doors. So I decided to concentrate on these objects. Attached here are some of my picks, hope you will like it.
