Walking trough the street of India you will see all the people (i saw only man) smoking such a small sigar, called BIRI. In India there are a lot of tipes of Biri and it is a normality smoke a biri. (it costs also only 5Rs Vs 50/70Rs for a package of cigarettes), they smoke wherever, on trains, buses, restaurants and so on....
Tripoli Bazaar lies between Chhoti Chaupa and Manak Chowk and is well known for being able to buy household goods and metal ware such as steel almirahs, trunks and bicycle shops. There is also plenty of other goods to choose from – carpets, furniture, textiles and trinkets. Durries can also be bought here although the best place is Achrol House, Subhash Chowk. The bazaar is closed on Sundays.
This was a fabulous matrix of towers and rooms and pavilions that was truly dizzying. From the hall of mirrors - incredible - to the murals to the endless halls of rooms this is a casual explorer's funhouse. We didn't go with children but it made me feel like a kid again to wander endlessly around in circles getting lost and finding interesting things (like the ancient version of a hot tub) around every corner.
We did without the elephant trip up the hill and I didn't feel like I missed anything...but then again, I've never been on an elephant.
Jaipr Jantar Mantar one of the five observatories in India . Built by Sawai Jai Singh, this is one of the largest and the best preserved. A passionate hobby of the king in the field of Astronomy, numerology, insighted him to execute this observatory and with the help of skilled labourers, they managed to create a collection of complex astronomical instruments chiselled out of stone and most of which continues to provide accurate information to this day. The most striking instrument is the Brihat Samrat yantra Sundial, an imposing yellow edifice to the far right of the observatory complex which has a 27m high gnomon arm set at an angle of 27degree.The shadow this casts moves up to 4m in an hour, and aids in the calculation of local and meridian pass time and various attributes of the heavenly bodies, including declination the angular distance of a heavenly body from the celestial equator and altitude. This highlight of the observatory has made it a centre of attraction for the tourist visiting Jaipur.
Open 9 AM to 4.30 PM
Entrance Fee RS 10 Camera Fee Rs 20 Video Rs 50.
I'm not going to repeat everything you can read in most of the other Vter postings about this palace, in Wikipedia or something alike.
My special feeling, besides the confirmation of the beauty of its facade, was the way it is intricated with the city, dominating the image of the area, but very well integrated in the whole.
Not the usual outstanding luxury apart from the city and contrasting with it, but something being part of the street, living with it, still hiding the faces of gone women, behind its delicate windows.
