Developed on the decrees of the ancient Shilpa Shastra there is no dearth of places to sightsee in Jaipur. Shrouded in history and folklore, the magnum opus of Jaipur rests not only in its magnificent palaces, forts and monuments but also in its idyllic green paradise of parks and sanctuaries.
One of Jaipur's most eminent gardens is the Vidhyadhar Garden near Sisodia that is an amalgam of contemporary Indian and Mughal architecture. This garden was built to commemorate the services of the legendary Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, the mastermind behind the Pink City's exquisite splendor. The garden is truly imperial with its wonderfully sculpted fountains, sylvan lakes, galleries and vibrant pavilions adorned with murals depicting Lord Krishna. The rambling expanse of the garden, beautifully landscaped and tended also houses a picturesque vineyard.
Another beautiful vista is that of the torrential downpours when the nimbus clouds unfold the rich blue sky under which mischievous monkeys frolic and India's pride, the elegant peacock spreads outs its dazzling feathers to welcome the rains.
Vidhyadhar Garden a natural treasure trove is a must see destination for tourists sightseeing in Jaipur.
