Jaipur: Standing in beauty


It looked like an elaborate cave with imprinted floral designs. As its concave structure blessed us with intricate Hindu Rajput elements, we couldn't help ourselves but to act as the caveman settlers. As we were thrilled as though no one had ever done this before, our tour guide had to bare with us by taking his one thousandth photo from this position.

Beneath our feet lays the strength of marble that soon sent chills up our spine. We have heard stories of concubines and reflective beauty behind her walls. The memories of my travelling for the last four hours behind a cramp van, along with 5 other human bodies surrounding me, will just as well add on to my delight of unrevealing the unexpected. Like the 24k gold that was used in the fresco art, I was turned on! My hats off to the artisan of that time, today my cap stays on as the Jaipur sun rays are starting to get to me and the 24K gold in the ceiling.
