| Jaipur has been laid according to the conventional
nine-grid pattern that astrologers believe
to be lucky, and which has been recommended
in the ancient Indian treatise on architecture.
Each grid consists of a square, and these
have been planned so that, at the heart of
the city is the City Palace. |
| |
| Jaipur’s architectural
planning may have been ancient, but
its execution was definitely modern. Best
represented by the City Palace complex, it
brought together all that was excellent in
Rajput and Mughal architecture, creating a
new tradition that found wide currency over
much of north India. As in the Mughal tradition,
the durbar or court areas became much more
open, characterised by a series of arched
pavilions held on delicately crafted pillars.
