As Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh was keen on the security aspect of the city, he constructed 20 feet high fortification walls to wrap the city all around, called “Parkota”, and designed seven entry gates of Jaipur. The Jaipur city wall is the city wall encircling the old Jaipur city in Rajasthan state in India. It was built in 1727 when the city was founded by Maharaja Jai Singh II. The wall is six meters high and three meters thick. This walk will take you through the walls of the old city and experience of the authentic Jaipur.

Walk Details:

Entrance gates of Jaipur are also not exceptional and certainly the direction, height, location etc. are all according to the Indian Vastu principles. In Jaipur, the directions of each street and market are east to West and North to South. No any street or market is in direction of West to East and South to North.

There are only three gates facing East, West, and North, while other gates face South. The Eastern gate of Jaipur is called Suraj (Sun) Pol (also known as Galta Gate), while the Western gate of Jaipur is called Chand (Moon) Pol and the Northern gate of Jaipur is known as Zorawar Singh gate (originally known as Dhruv Pol) which faces toward the ancestral capital of Amber. Other entry gates of Jaipur are known as Gangapol, Krishna Pol (now known as Ajmeri Gate), Ghat Gate (originally known as Ram Pol) and Sanganeri Gate (originally known as Shiv Pol).

Later, the eighth gate of Jaipur, New Gate was constructed by Maharaja Sawai Maan Singh at Chaura Rasta. This eighth gate was planned to design as per the architecture of Berlin. Former prime minister of Jaipur Riyasat, Sir Mirja Ismile, brought and studied lot many maps of the gates constructed in France and Berlin.
