Local Buzz of the Pink City

Local Buzz of the Pink City
Although Jaipur is more famous for its mighty forts and the tales of braveries of Rajput kings. Another hidden exploration that’s the prime reason for tourists to lay their feet on this pink land is – its colourful and buzzing market scene. Designed by the local architectures, this local market of pink city is a cleanly carved section of small shops that lay on both the roadsides. You would be able to find almost each and everything in these small shops. You will be excited to know the fact that some shops are being operated by the third or fourth generation of the original shopkeepers who started doing their business from this colourful land.
Starting from the picturesque sight of Hawa Mahal, you will be taken through Tripolia Bazaar. Passing through Purohit Ji Ka Katla and Hanuman Ji Ka Rasta, you will venture into Johari Bazaar. Places like Ghee-walo Ka Rasta, Dhada Market and Haldiyon Ka Rasta will also come in your exploration journey. The major attractions in the local market are local clothing embellished with mirror and thread work, bangles made from different types of materials and the famous cotton textiles which are often coloured with tie and dye technique and seem luring you from a corner shop. Tasting the local kachauri and spicy samosas is a pleasant addition to this visually appealing tour. Return back to Hawa Mahal to explore the palace’s architecture.
Staying with the locals at their humble abode is an experience that is going to stay with you for the rest of your life. Such is the hospitality of the people of rural Rajasthan who believe in making the most out of whatever little they have. And at the end of the day, as the sun goes down in all its glory, the villages’ folklore will mesmerize you like you never could have imagined!

I found myself in the midst of a middle aged city where people love to indulge in lively colours, like to taste the spicy samosas and mirchi vadas. The hawkers scream to sell their stuff, the shops seem more than inviting showcasing local embroidered and tie die clothing.

“I spent an entire evening at the Samode village singing and dancing with the locals in their colourful traditional attire. I even tried the Chari dance with a pot on my head. Yes, a definite must try for everyone!”

Rural Rajasthan
Bright, traditional, rustic yet soulful – that is rural Rajasthan for you! Considering the chaotic and busy lives we live, visiting the interiors of the state will make you realize how meditatively beautiful life is beyond the hustle bustle of the cities.
While the desert state is considered a perfect embodiment of richness and royalty, it also offers a much humble sight of a Persian wheel irrigating the lush fields in its rural areas. A group of traditionally dressed women, carrying clay pots on their heads, walking down the dust roads and turban-clad men with majestic mustaches sweating it out in the fields, is a common sight that you will see as you drive through the state. And they do it so effortlessly without any trace of discomfort that, it will not just inspire you but will make you appreciate the simplistic beauty of life.
