Eyeing in Jaipur during night time is equally good!

JAIPUR: The beauty of this heritage city lies in its string of forts, monuments, and palaces and eyeing these beauties is no more restricted to the daytime. Tourists and locals can now experience Night Tourism, which means the monuments will no more close at 6 pm but will be open till 11pm. This new initiative has been instrumental in bringing the tourists in both summer as well as winter months. The architectural glory of the mystifying monuments is equally—or even more-- magical during the night as much as it is in the daytime. Here are a few must visit places. 

1. Experience the Royal History engraved on the Walls of the City Palace

The City Palace by Night is already becoming a favourite among the tourists and the locals alike. The  'Museum at night and Sculpture Lumiere show' at the City Palace is a 28 minute show that unfolds the history of the royal family. The French Sculpture Lumière Artist - Patrick Rimoux, created the spectacle of light. And the introductory narrative of the show will be voiced by none other than Amitabh Bachchan. All of these and a kaleidoscopic view is truly alluring.

The show unveils the history of Kacchawa rulers, and their contributions to Jaipur. During the show, the audience will get to see a rare collection of vintage photographs, and video footage on the walls of Sarvato Bhadra Chowk. The kaleidoscopic light show will also showcase a bunch of various art works of Jaipur. This is said to be the first museum in India to start with a night concept as such. Gear up to enjoy the winter chills and the summer breeze at the City Palace, Jaipur.

The three major components of the night show are that, the visitors get a chance to visit three museum galleries, followed by the awe inspiring show, concluding with a scrumptious dinner  which is optional.

2. Soak yourself in romance at Amber Fort

Amber Fort is one of the most popular and much loved monuments of Rajasthan. The fort finds its admirers across the planet. The magnificent monument added yet another feather to its list of charismatic details, when the fort took on to night tourism some months ago.
