JaipurThruMyLens – Jaipur, Seen Differently


The internet is full of information about Jaipur. Most of it is cliche. I started JaipurThruMyLens to change that – to offer an authentic, layered perspective on the Pink City that goes beyond the usual listicles and stock photos. 

Started in 2015 as a photo blog, JaipurThruMyLens has grown into one of the most detailed and trusted Jaipur travel blogs on the internet. What began as a personal project to share pictures of Jaipur quickly grew when readers began asking for more: more stories, more context, more of the Jaipur that only a local would know.

“Jaipur is truly unique in comparison to all other cities I have visited in India and abroad. It has a very distinct flavor and feel that draws visitors back again and again.”

Today, JaipurThruMyLens covers a wide range of topics: Jaipur’s monuments and heritage sites like Amer, Nahargarh Fort, Albert Hall Museum, festivals like Holi, Diwali, Janmashtami, Teej, Dussehra, local food and culture like Jaipur Ghevar, Kachori and much more – all through the lens of someone who has been exploring the city in depth since 2014.

Researchers, travel writers, and curious visitors regularly cite JaipurThruMyLens as a go-to resource for reliable, on-the-ground information about Jaipur.

ABOUT THE BLOGGER

A Jaipur Local, On a 10-Year Exploration

I grew up in Jaipur but began truly exploring the Pink City only in 2014. What started as curiosity turned into a decade long, ongoing love affair with a city that reveals something new every time you look closely.

Over the years, I have traveled extensively across India and abroad. That broader experience has only deepened my appreciation for what makes Jaipur genuinely singular: its monumental legacy, its living culture, and the warmth of its people.

The name JaipurThruMyLens says it simply: everything here – the pictures, the scenes, the stories  — is Jaipur as I see it. Not a press trip. Not a sponsored itinerary. Just one local’s honest, evolving perspective on a city worth knowing deeply.

EXPERIENCES

Bespoke Heritage Walking Tours in Jaipur

Beyond the blog, I curate bespoke Jaipur heritage walking tours and theme-based experiential tours in Jaipur. These tours cater to travelers who desire to go beyond the surface — to walk the lanes of the old city, understand the architecture, hear the stories behind the walls, and experience Jaipur the way a local does. 

Over the past several years, I have also organised cycling and walking tours in Jaipur in collaboration with a Jaipur-based NGO, bringing together community engagement and immersive exploration.

  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….

  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…
      🙂
