Information on Jaipur?

Hi All,
I may be heading to Jaipur on contract for a lenghty period, and would like to get some information about expatriate life and the availability of European goods.
I understand that it is a fairly big city with a large amount of international travellers, but besides all the tourist info, I could obtain very little about life in Jaipur.
Do westernized department stores and supermarkets exist? What about international newspapers and magazines? Are there any bars, pubs or discos? What kind of international clubs and organizations are there? How reliable is the postal system in India in general?
Not to be misunderstood, I certainly will blend into the local life style as much as possible and enjoy it , but it is nice to know what you can get and how much support you need to organize from back "home".

Any first-hand information or infos about links and websites is highly appreciated.

Thanks

Jaipur pronunciation (help·info) (Hindi: जयपुर), also popularly known as the Pink City, is the capital of Rajasthan state, India. Historically rendered as Jeypore. Jaipur is the former capital of the princely state of Jaipur. Founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the ruler of Amber. By 2003, after only 276 years, the population had reached approximately 2.7 million.

Built of pink stucco in imitation of sandstone, the city is remarkable among pre-modern Indian cities for the width and regularity of its streets which are laid out into six quarters separated by broad streets 111 ft (34 m) wide. The urban quarters are further divided by networks of gridded streets. Five quarters wrap around the east, south, and west sides of a central palace quarter, with a sixth quarter immediately to the east. The Palace quarter encloses a sprawling palace complex (the Hawa Mahal, or palace of winds), formal gardens, and a small lake. Nahargarh Fort crowns the hill in the northwest corner of the old city. Another noteworthy building is Sawai Jai Singh's observatory, Jantar Mantar. With its rich and colourful past, resplendent with tales of valour and bravery, Jaipur is now one of the most important heritage cities in India, and is a must-see for tourists coming to India.

Elephant Ride at Amber Fort, Jaipur $32.35 This is your chance to ride an elephant up to the Amber Fort like the royalty of Rajasthan once did. Mount the animal from a raised platform and sit comfortably in a specially designed, secure seat as the majestic animal winds its way up the ramparts of the fort. The elephant is a gentle creature and the mahout (a person who drives the elephant) uses an ankush (a sharp hook used to guide a tamed elephant by prodding it on the back of its head) to guide the animal up the ramparts. The animals look beautiful as the mahouts decorate them, especially the trunk, with floral and geometric patterns using coloured chalk and powders. Amber Fort is a classic Rajasthani fort-palace on the outskirts of Jaipur. Built on top of a hill with a lake at its feet, its construction was started by King Man Singh I in 1592, and completed by his descendent Jai Singh I. The rugged exterior of the fort hides an aesthetic interior where a harmonious fusion of the Mughal and Rajput style of architecture can be seen. The intricate carvings on the walls and ceilings simply astonish the visitors.An elephant ride to the top of this fort is one of the most popular activities in Jaipur. A colourfully decorated elephant making his way up to the Fort makes for a quintessentially Indian photograph!

Jaipur Jewelry is the Synonyms for a Jewelry That Contains Both the Traditional and Contemporary Style in it

Are you looking for Indian jewelry and confused?

I would like to recommend you to get it from Jaipur. One strong reason behind this is that Indian jewelry directly relates to the tradition of India. And our Indian history proves that once Rajasthan used to be the center for different cultures like Mughals, British, Muslims and

many others....

They all left their essence in the life style of Rajasthani people and being the capital Jaipur was the most affected place. That's why you

can get a great combination of these cultures in Jaipur jewelry whether it is silver, gold, diamond or any other jewelry with natural stones and precious & semi-precious gemstones.

Silver - This is the most fascinating jewelry item of Jaipur. Earlier in Jaipur this item used to be made in traditional style only but now-a-days it offers a variety of designs by amalgamating traditional and contemporary styles at highly competitive prices imitation.

This kind of designer jewelry is very popular and appreciated by the tourists from all over the world. Sterling silver that contains 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals is preferred the most for making silver jewelry.

Gems stones - When it comes to color gemstones, precious & semi-precious stones and handcrafted silver jewelry all the International buyers prefer Jaipur. Jaipur has emerged as one of the leading centers in the colored stones segment of the gems and jewelry sector.

It also happens to be one of the world's largest centers for gemstone cutting and polishing. Around 80-85 percent of the emeralds worldwide

are cut in Jaipur. The industry here is over 300 years old. That's why gems stones of Jaipur are famous all over the world for their reality

and original sources.

Gold - Indians have a predilection for the gold and because of this India is the largest consumer of gold jewelry and ornaments in the world and Jaipur plays a big role amongst the providers. Jewelers from there offer some of the best traditional and modern designs in gold jewelry made with 14k, 18k and 22k gold.

Meenakari - This is a different kind of art in jewelry making and was introduced to Jaipur by the Mughals. It was brought to Jaipur by Raja

Man Singh. Meenakari is the art of doing enameling to the jewelry.

Earlier it used to be done in gold only but now it is done in silver and other metals also. This enameling is done by applying fusion of different

mineral substances over the metal surface.

Kundankari - This is the art of setting gems and stones in gold and silver. This was also been inspired by Mughals. One of the oldest forms

of jewelry made and worn in India is the 24 carat pure gold Kundan jewelry. Mostly kundan work is combined with enameling meenakari. In this way jewelry that comes out has two equally beautifully surfaces meenakari at the back surface and kundankari in the front surface.

Diamond - Whether it is contemporary diamond or Indian costume jewelry, Jaipur is the hub for all kind of jewelry. People are very much attracted towards Jaipur diamond and color stone.

As the real diamond is very much expensive, diamond replica is becoming the alternate of it. This is exactly the same as real diamond jewelry, but the small difference is that it is a replica. Because of this diamond jewelry that earlier used to be worn by exclusive people only, now can

be bought by an ordinary man or woman. Jaipur diamond is also used for some astrological reasons.

Jaipur jewelry designs follow not only its traditional style but also get you the designs that are hot right now in the international market. So if someone wants any type of jewelry on wholesale prices wholesalers from Jaipur can provide it all over the world.
