Jaipur - Culture

Jaipur is also famous for semi-precious stones and the best place to buy them is off Johari Bazaar. Miniatures, handicrafts, clothes, jewellery of silver and lac are other items to be bought in Jaipur.

The people of Jaipur like any other part of Rajasthan are known for their colourful attires. Though the patches of modernity are clearly visible in Jaipur, the city is still the commercial centre for most rural regions of Rajasthan. The streets and market places of Jaipur still witnesses scenes of turbaned Rajasthani men, moving around with their women, who are dressed in swirling skirts and flashing Meenakari (enamel) jewellery that bring to life all the colours of the desert.

The cultural prosperity of Rajasthan is evident in its local festivals some of which attract international attention. Jaipur also witnesses some of these; the most important being the Elephant Festival gets underway in the month of Phalgun (March) on the eve of Holi, the festival of colors. It is famous for its procession of elephants, camels, horses and folk dancers. The sight of mighty jumbos striding majestically is a treat to watch.
