There are so many places to visit in these beautiful cities, some of which include Amer Fort, an incredible structure located on a hill just a few miles outside of Jaipur. Built in 1592, the palace is located in the state’s former capital. It’s best known for its combination of both Hindu and Muslim architecture. Spend some time roaming through the stunning courtyards whilst taking in the views of Jaipur below.
Another must visit is one of the most iconic landmarks in Jaipur, The Hawa Mahal. Also known as the Palace of Winds, it is immediately recognizable from its jaw dropping facade of pink sandstone and 953 latticed windows. It was built as an extension of the City Palace in 1799 so that the royal women could discreetly observe Jaipur’s street life through any of its many windows.
The Indian culture has permeated design from time immemorial and is still strong and prevalent today in modern design.
I love exploring the cities just to take in the architecture as they are simply stunning and provide me inspiration for some of our design schemes, wallpaper collections, furniture and furnishings.
The sights and sounds are one to behold. It is rich, colorful and simple breathtaking. This richness of culture has fostered some of the greatest artisans who specialize in textiles, jewelry, rugs, bronze pieces, and everything in between
