Ah, I remember a crazy ride round the market area in a tricycle taxi. We were a group, so all the drivers were racing against each other. Our guide, Kapil Rotaghi, treated us to some delicious samosas from a stall. We had a day at Amber Fort. I fell in love with it straight away. I would like to come back some day.

Hi Jyoti,

Though I live in Jaipur, some of the photos are really uncommon for me.

If even I do not talk of Darshan with Bill, yo have depicted the whole culture, society, festival and religion of Jaipur in a single hub.

Really wonderful pictures especially with President Clinton. We went only to popular places like Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantar, Museum. It was about 10 years back. Thumbs up.

Hi Lensman,

Thanks for your comment.

Mr. Bill Clinton visited Jaipur and Darshan was a small kid at that time. While meeting Bill prompted to take him in his lap and a daily news paper photographer took the snap and gifted it to me. As he was accompanied with me, I could not take the photograph. This is the only picture in this hub that, I have not taken. Bill also written some message for him and signed in his school note book.

I will try to write a hub about kite festival in Jaipur.

    Gulabi Nagar Vichar Manch, the forum of Jaipur

    • Discussion on Dasahara and Vijaya Dasami in Gulabi Nagar Vichar Manch, Jaipur

       Gulabi Nagar Vichar Manch, Jaipur organized a discussion on Dasahara and Vijaya Dasami today on the eve of the said festival. It is worth noted that Gulabi Nagar Vichar Manch has been organizing weekly discussions on various topics since 1983. They organize it every Sunday. Late Girdharilal Bhargav, MP, Jaipur and Late Dr. Ujala Arora, Minister, Rajasthan were the founder of this Manch. Darshan Kothari, Chief speaker of the program told that Dasahara and Vijaya Dasami are one of the main festivals of Hindu Communities. Dasahara is a Kshatriya festival according to Hinduism. Rakhi is for Brahmins, Diwali for Vaisya and Holi for Shudra communities. These classifications are according to work distributions. All four sects celebrate and enjoy all four festivals. However, the nature of these festivals are liable for such classification. Kshatriya community worship their arms and weapons on the eve of Dasahara. Rajasthan is the land of brave Rajputs. Hence, Dasahara has a great importance for them. It is Vijaya Dasami in West Bengal. Bengali community enjoys "Kolakoli" in this day. Vijaya Dasami comes just after Durga Puja, the greatest festival of Bengal. Lord Rama (Ram) conquered Ravan (Demon King) on this day. Tejkaran Parashar told that Dasahara is the establishment day of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a great volunteer organization of India. Advocate Pradip Chouhan extended vote of thanks to the audience.
