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.

  1. Hey Arv. Thank you for visiting my blog so I also have chances to visit yours. It’s incredible stories I found there. I often found the blogs writing a lot about India, but mostly it’s for the most tourist attraction places only, such as Delhi, Goa, and of course Jaipur too. But none providing such as info about Jaipur as detail as yours. I still have not changed yet to visit India, so travelling through your blog at least can give me some views how the it is.. And of course, Jaipur is on the list..Keep it up..

    1. Thanks for sharing your thoughts here. Although Jaipur is incredibly popular among tourists and that is why you will find immense amount of info on internet but sadly it is all cliche and touristy. Some real helpful information for tourists is always missing from the the top listed sites on google. Happy to know you enjoyed your trip to Jaipur.

    1. Thanks, Matt. I’m glad you liked this blog. I guess most blog evolved through this process – photo-journalism. These days though I have moved away and focussing on experiences or stories rather than writing about events or happenings. You have some beautiful monochrome pictures. Where are you based?
