RUBAROO with Jaipur

Heena adorns the hand & music add life to celebration

















Bright , colourful, vibrant  are the names with which you can  associate Jaipur . one can easily spot beautifully dressed men and women in there traditional attires. Since my childhood I have always known Jaipur as a place of palaces and Forts . My long desire was to know Jaipur apart from these tourist destinations. Jaipur is a live example of rich heritage and culture that we owe from our "once upon a time" rulers.

The city touched my heart when I came across communities who are singers since ages. Even the little member of the house sings and enjoys. All kinds of musical instruments are found here. Jaipur specializes in Harmonium and Tabla. Music lovers from far off places come here to learn music and dance. Till date we hunt for Rajasthani mehndi(Heena) artist to apply mehndi on the hands of bride . This is another community in Jaipur who  survives on age old traditional art. God bless them!! they make the brides hand look beautiful.

A winter evening in Jaipur is mesmerising . All the forts and monuments are lit with dazzling lights. The ambiance is so alluring that It automatically takes you back to the 17th century the period of Maharaja Jai Singh .I was spellbound on a city tour to many of these forts. The architecture speaks for itself. Jaipur touched my heart with its simplicity and authenticity.  A family invited me to have Dal , Bati and choka at there residence which will forever keep me connected to this BRIGHT  city the PINK CITY.

As I went down the river I noticed beautiful tiny houses and people sipping there cupa chai ( Tea) in there lilliputian portico. They seem to be calm and relaxed with smile on there face.These merry men ,women and children who were coming along my way were so unlike the community which I have seen in the course of my life. Maybe the scenic beauty had cast a magic spell on them. The long walk was looking for answers about soul . Pondering of thoughts lead me to the river . I washed my face , looked at my self into the water and thought what a lonely walk it was!! The Bank of the river is so enchanting t...
