A flamboyant showcase of Rajasthani architecture, the Pink City of JAIPUR has long been established on tourist itineraries as the third corner of India's "Golden Triangle", just 300km Southwest of Delhi and 200 km West of Agra. Though the "Pink City" label applies specifically to the old walled quarter of the State Capital, in the Northeast of town, exuberant eighteenth and nineteenth century palaces are scattered throughout the urban area. The orderly bazaars of the old town rank among the most vibrant in Asia, renowned above all for hand-dyed and embroidered textiles, jewellery and the best selection of precious stones and metals in India. For its entire colour however Jaipur's heavy traffic combined with the aggression of over-eager traders and touts, tends to reduce the appeal of a long stay. Few travellers find it easy to relax here and most leave craving the fresher air and laid-back pace of Bharatpur or the Thar Desert towns. If you are anywhere near Jaipur in March, don't miss the Elephant Festival, one of India's most flamboyant parades celebrated with full Rajput pomp during Holi (March).
