City Palace, Jaipur\u00a0<\/strong> <\/a>is a palace complex in\u00a0Jaipur, the capital of the\u00a0Rajasthan\u00a0state. \u00a0It was the seat of the\u00a0Maharaja of Jaipur, the head of the\u00a0Kachwaha\u00a0Rajput\u00a0clan. \u00a0The palace complex, located northeast of the centre of the grid-patterned Jaipur city, incorporates an impressive and vast array of courtyards, gardens and buildings. The palace was built between 1729 and 1732, initially by Sawai\u00a0Jai Singh II, the ruler of\u00a0Amber. He planned and built the outer walls, and later additions were made by successive rulers continuing up to the 20th century. The credit for the urban layout of the city and its structures is attributed to two architects namely,\u00a0Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, the chief architect in the royal court and Sir\u00a0Samuel Swinton Jacob, apart from the Sawai himself who was a keen architectural enthusiast. The architects achieved a fusion of the\u00a0Shilpa Shastra\u00a0of\u00a0Indian architecture\u00a0with Rajput, and\u00a0Mughal.<\/p>\n

History of City Palace :-<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The history of the palace is intertwined with the history of the great city of Jaipur itself. The City palace used to be the throne of the Maharaja of Jaipur, head of the Kachwaha Rajput Clan. Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh was the force behind the initiation of the Palace’s construction when he began shifted the capital from Amber to Jaipur in the year 1727. He then began building the outer wall sometime during the years 1729 to 1732, such that it ran over to several acres through the city.<\/p>\n

Architecture of City Palace :-<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The architectural style of the City Palace was a fusion of the Shilpa Shastra of Indian Architecture along with Rajput, Mughal and European styles. The main architects for the construction of the palace were Vidyadhar Bhattacharya and Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob. Classical Indian principles such as the Vastushastra were promptly followed by the architects during the construction of the palace. It was built using red and pink sandstone and has three gates, namely ‘Tripolia Gate’, ‘Udai Pol’, ‘Virendra \u00a0Pol’. The entrances themselves are decorated intricately with the finest handiwork and are a suitable preamble to what lies inside. The palace complex is designed in the form of a grid and has a number of structures within its bounds such as ‘Chandra Mahal’, ‘Govind Dev Ji Temple’, ‘Mubarak Mahal’, and ‘Diwan-I-Khas’. Murals, mosaics, honeycomb window panes and meticulous stonework make the Palace a\u00a0perfect blend of design, art, colour and culture.<\/p>\n
