Como si esto fuera poco, hay aún más cosas para disfrutar: JJK también tiene en exhibición objetos tradicionales antiguos, para mantener la historia de Jaipur bien viva.

Sheesh Mahal is one of the main reasons contributing to the numerous tourists visiting Amer Fort everyday; and to call it beautiful would simply be an understatement. This winter palace in the fort complex got its name because the entire structure is decorated with mirrors (sheesha in Hindi). Lavish and stylish, this palace gives us a glimpse of Rajput grandeur from the bygone days. It is said that the main resting room is entirely covered with crystal clear mirrors imported all the way from Belgium. Today however, this section of the palace is closed for public viewing due to ongoing restoration work. Apart from the mirrors, Sheesh Mahal also flaunts single piece marble pillars with delicate work that reflects both Rajputana and Mughal designs, not only providing support, but also adding to the beauty of the place. It goes without saying, your visit to Jaipur is not complete till you have visited Sheesh Mahal.
Lejos del centro de la ciudad, se encuentra el Templo Galtaji, que fuera azotado por la sequía en el pasado. Se dice que hace siglos, el santo Galav meditó por más de cien años para calmar a los dioses y las diosas, quienes luego lo bendijeron a él y a todos los entusiasmados lugareños con manantiales naturales sagrados en toda la región. En el siglo XVIII, este templo fue construido en honor a los efuerzos desinteresados del santo. Galtaji tiene muchos templos dentro de su extensión, sus paredes de piedra arenisca rosa y su arquitectura excepcional puede que provoquen confundirlos con palacios. Se encuentra sobre una colina, y está dedicado al dios Sol, y considerado el más sagrado de los templos. En algunas ocasiones, los fieles se bañan en los manantiales naturales sagrados, para ofrecer sus plegarias a Dios. Este templo es un lugar para sentir el ambiente de fé y además disfrutar de hermosas vistas de la ciudad, un sitio sagrado que nos transmite paz y tranquilidad.
El Palacio de la Ciudad comenzó a existir más o menos al mismo tiempo que la ciudad de Jaipur. El palacio original fue construido por Sawai Jai Singh II, y a lo largo de los años, sus sucesores fueron haciéndole modificaciones y adiciones. La vivienda real está revestida en piedra arenisca rosada, y es una de las atracciones más visitadas de la ciudad, es un placer para los turistas y un orgullo para los lugareños. El palacio es un complejo que consiste de varios espacios para visitar, como el Mubarak Mahal, el Diwan-i-Aam, o salón de audiencias, el Sileh Khana, el Chandra Mahal y el templo Govind Dev Ji . Hasta el día de hoy, una parte del complejo está habitada por descendientes de la familia real; sin embargo, la entrada a esos sectores está restringida a todo público. El resto del lugar ha sido convertido en museos, galerías y comercios. En el presente, la galería exhibe pinturas, cerámica, y otras técnicas artísticas a la venta. En el Diwan-i-Khas se pueden ver dos magníficos recipientes de plata que han llegado al libro de récord Guinness. El Buggy Khana, el Sileh Khana o la casa de armas, y el Sabha Niwas nos recuerdan a la era Rajput.

A jewel of Sanganer, the foundation of Shri Digamber Jain Atishay Kshetra Mandir Sanghi Jee dates back to over 1100 years. The architectural style of the temple reflects that of the Mount Abu Dilwara Temple, while the eight crests of the temple resemble Khajuraho (famous temple in Madhya Pradesh). The courtyard at the first gate is made from Pylons of red stone, while the pillars have exquisite carvings of Kinnera Devis (Musician Goddesses). The courtyard at the second gate depicts the Dhola Maru image from the 8th and 10th Centuries. The Nij Mandir (inner temple) has three crests etched with flowers and elephants, and an idol of Lord Parshwanath placed in between. One would find such mystic idols, the oldest being the idol of Lord Adinath, enshrined in one of the three small temples around the courtyards. The main highlight of the seven-story Sanghiji temple is the underground section where carefully restored Jain statues and idols lie beneath. Entry is permissible only to ascetic saints who fix an auspicious date for the idols to be taken out for darshan (prayers). Religious Jain devotees and tourists from all over the world come to witness this spectacular occasion. With an aim to serve the community, the temple committees also have started a dharmashala (lodging), bhojanalaya (kitchen), school and hospital. Overall, the splendid temple is an educational subject for architecture students, and most of all, an evidence of rich history and culture yet to be unfolded.
On visiting Jaipur, one will see the abundance of temples and palaces. But the Moti Dungri Temple is a class apart from all other temples. The word "moti" means "pearl" and "dungri" means hill in Hindi. This religious shrine is located atop a hill and is adjacent to a palace. The temple, which is dedicated to Lord Ganesha, attracts large crowds, some who come to pay homage to the deity and others who come there for the magnificent view it offers. This temple is one of the main tourist attractions in the city and many tours are conducted for those who wish to visit it during their stay in the city.

Amid ceaseless chants of Radhe Radhe and devotional songs blaring out of the loudspeakers, Govind Devji Temple is far from being secluded. Located within the City Palace conclave, this temple is devoted to Lord Krishna and has a history that is much older than the city palace itself. Although built on the orders of the illustrious Maharaja Man Singh, it is believed that the consent and the allotted land, was actually a gift from King Akbar. This shrine, however, has not always been where it is today, as the original temple was built in the late 16 Century in Uttar Pradesh. Over the years, the idol of Lord Krishna traveled from Govindpura Village to Kanak Valley, till finally in 1735 A.D., it was enshrined in “Suraj Mahal”, which was to be the permanent site of this temple. Today, thousands of devotees arrive here for divine blessings. Each evening brings in its wake, an electric atmosphere with mythological plays been enacted on the temple grounds, as devotees wait eagerly to catch a glimpse of their beloved Lord. Once the temple door opens, as is the custom, there is a collective cry of joy that is nothing short of startling. Anyone who wants to observe the essence of the Hindu religion and its association with the masses should come here.
The Amar Jawan Jyoti memorial was built to honor the bravery of Jaipur's legendary martyrs and soldiers.

With the hue of the monument magically changing from one vivid color to another, Amar Jawan Jyoti certainly makes for a picturesque backdrop for postcards and photographs.
