Sanganer/City Palace/Hawa Mahal


Hello Folk,
So I find myself having only enough time once a week to update this blog. Sorry about that I hope someone is still finding it amusing. This weekend I did some site seeing. First I went to the block printing /blue pottery making industry region of Jaipur called Sanganer. Jaipur is famous for its beautiful textiles, blue pottery, and jewelry (particularly semi-precious and precious gems). The blocking printing and textile industry were outstanding and I do not thin k my pictures will do justice for what I saw, but there are pictures anyway!


Sunday I visited the City Palace. Again it was a beautiful sightJ. Did you know Rajasthan has a royal family? Well it does, but now the palace is open to the public! As my friend and I were exploring some of the pink city (Johari Bazaar) we stumbled upon the Hawa Mahal or Palace of Winds.
