Jaipur is home to some of the most magnificent architectural wonders in the country. The beautiful Hawa Mahal and the splendid Nahargarh Fort are situated in Jaipur. Rajasthan is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country and Jaipur, being the capital city, receives a huge number of tourists every year.
The architecture of the monuments and the city itself is a wonder in itself. Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II built the city according to Vaastu Shastra. The city was originally built within walls but it grew beyond the walls eventually. There was one Eastern Gate called the Suraj Pol and a Western Gate called the Chand Pol. The Northern Gate was called the Zorawar Singh Gate and there were many gates towards the South. The gates used to be opened at sunrise and closed at sunset.
Some of the most important tourist attractions of Jaipur include the Amber Fort, the Jaigarh Fort, the Central Museum, the Albert Hall Museum and the Hawa Mahal. There are also many temples in Jaipur, which is why the city is also called Chota Kashi.
