About Jaipurthrumylens


Hi! I’m Jaipur based blogger. JaipurThruMyLens is a blog about Jaipur.  Best known around the world as “The Pink City,” Jaipur ranks high as a travel destination. My blog, JaipurThruMyLens showcases the city with a different perspective for travelers and locals.

Over the years, I have had the opportunity to travel and visit many other cities in India and abroad. Based on my travel experiences, Jaipur is truly unique in comparison to all other cities. Jaipur encompasses a rich & unique culture that is hard to find in other cities. It has a very distinct “flavour” & “feel”, which draws visitors again and again! Every festival, like Holi, Diwali, Janmashtami, Teej, Dussehra, etc is celebrated with zest & fervor. The rich monumental legacy is certainly one of its kind with a long list including Amer Fort, Jal Mahal, Nahargarh Fort, and Hawa Mahal to name a few.

I started exploring Jaipur in 2014 even though I grew up in the city. In 2015, I started this blog on Jaipur, JaipurThruMyLens, to share pictures of the city with the rest of the world. Initially, the blog was only meant to be a photo-blog with pictures of Jaipur, and over time, the idea changed. Readers and followers of the JaipurThruMyLens blog requested that I share more and not just pictures. Many readers mentioned they possibly would not be able to travel to Jaipur and the blog was a great way to see the beautiful city, virtually. Some followers wanted me to share my perspective on popular places. Essentially, they wanted authentic information since the internet is full of conflicting ones. JaipurThruMyLens has become quite popular because of its unique content and perspective on Jaipur. The topics covered in this blog are quite varied and in-depth.  

The idea of starting a blog about Jaipur was completely different than what it is today. I’m happy that the JaipurThruMyLens blog has helped travelers visiting Jaipur explore the pink city in a meaningful way. Similarly, researchers have shared that JaipurThruMyLens is a great resource for their research.  

Many followers suggested that the blog should evolve with time. By this, they meant that JaipurThruMyLens should also share information through social media, especially Instagram. While I’m on Instagram – @arv_jpr it does not replace the blog JaipurThruMyLens. I’m only sharing Jaipur pictures on Instagram, at the moment. 

I curate bespoke heritage Jaipur walking tours & theme based experiential tours in Jaipur. Explorers love my Jaipur walking tours and so do people who love architecture, heritage, history, and arts. If you wish to know more about these, you can connect with me via Instagram https://www.instagram.com/arv_jpr/

If you enjoy reading JaipurThruMyLens or have gained information for travel or research, kindly leave a comment to let me know. It helps to know that the blog is helping travelers and researchers. This way I can share more to help anyone seeking information about Jaipur. If there are aspects you find missing and would like me to share information about, do share.

There is so much to Jaipur that any combination of 26 letters will not be able to cover it all. The Internet, guidebooks, and Jaipur travel blogs are replete with information on Jaipur, most of which is quite a cliche.

  7. Hello Arv!

    Thank you for dropping by and following my blog! I too have seen bits and pieces of Jaipur, Ajmer and Jodhpur during my childhood days. Just remember the glimpses now. But the ones I remember very well are the Jaigad Fort, Jalmahal, Birla Temple, Galtaji, Ajmer Shariff Dargah and Rambagh palace. Great place to be, yet I need another journey though to recollect everything….

      2. we don’t have to be professional photographer..I think photography is how you see things..we all have different way of seeing same thing! Event is stagnant, it’s the story that varies! keep clicking…

  19. Hi Arv thanks a lot for visiting and following my blog. I like your blog very much. i was never been in the Pink city, I wish I could. Most of the time we write when you go somewhere else and find new experience. but you are exploring the city where you belongs. I like it.

    1. Somdatta! Thanks for those nice words! It was last year when I started exploring around the city with one of my friend. And then I found that there are many incredible places that “need to be discovered”. Places that have been overlooked…places that should be seen from a different angle and different lens!!
      Why become tourist, when you can be explorer?
      the journey has been incredible so far! Thanks for visiting…
      🙂
