History of City Palace
The historical backdrop of the royal residence is interlaced with the historical backdrop of the incredible city of Jaipur itself. The City royal residence used to be the honored position of the Maharaja of Jaipur, leader of the Kachwaha Rajput Clan. Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh was the power behind the commencement of the Palace's development when he started moved the capital from Amber to Jaipur in the year 1727. He at that point started assembling the external divider at some point during the years 1729 to 1732, to such an extent that it went to a few sections of land through the city.
The Raja's demise was trailed by a few wars between the Rajput lords, and Maharaja Ram Singh united with the British during the Revolt of 1857 and continued to change the city into in a mixture of pink structures in order to respect the Prince of Wales. The received child of Maharaja Madho Singh II, Raja Man Singh II was the last lord to govern from the Chandra Mahal Palace. Post the converging of Jaipur with the Indian Union in 1949, the City Palace kept on being the living arrangement of the imperial family.
Architecture of City Palace
The building style of the City Palace was a combination of the Shilpa Shastra of Indian Architecture alongside Rajput, Mughal and European styles. The fundamental planners for the development of the castle were Vidyadhar Bhattacharya and Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob. Traditional Indian standards, for example, the Vastushastra were quickly trailed by the modelers during the development of the castle. It was assembled utilizing red and pink sandstone and has three doors, to be specific 'Tripolia Gate', 'Udai Pol', 'Virendra Pol'. The passages themselves are enlivened unpredictably with the best workmanship and are a reasonable prelude to what lies inside. The royal residence complex is planned as a network and has various structures inside its limits, for example, 'Chandra Mahal', 'Govind Dev Ji Temple', 'Mubarak Mahal', and 'Diwan-I-Khas'. Wall paintings, mosaics, honeycomb window sheets and careful stonework make the Palace an ideal mix of plan, craftsmanship, shading and culture.
