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.

  4. Jaipur became known as “The Pink City” when, in 1876, Maharaja Ram Singh had most of the buildings painted pink—the color of hospitality—in preparation for a visit by Britain’s Queen Victoria. Today, the city is known for its bazaars, forts, temples, palaces, and wildlife sanctuaries.

  5. Reliving Jaipur through your lens , Our Pink City as captured by you & its story it reminds me of every lane and even architectural structure inspiring us being an interior designer from jaipur with very small details like how motifs been used in the architecture & interior details, a balance of colours with terracotta canvas – we at Kamal Kavita Interiors believe our go to interior design book is our Pink City even what we call Pinterest of Interior design and architecture to us is our city of jaipur

    Just to add a story we were stuck in a design where in we were finding it difficult to explain client how terracotta and green go hand in hand in real not in 3d images, client was from NRI for his house which were designing for his OTS (open to sky area) in middle section of the house we suggested him a palace of terracotta and green – so we invited client to visit us in jaipur and we took him to Chaura rasta near Tripolia bazar chauraha at around 8 pm in night and we didn’t tell him what was the purpose behind taking him to that place specifically to that chauraha of Chaura rasta jaipur and trust us those jharokha painted in green of old library in that are with terracotta canvas was stealing the show of the night which in turn on next day came to us as yes for the color ideology and he in fact mentioned I understood the travel itinerary Kamal & Kavita thanks you for this ideology

    thanks for your blog on Jaipur architecture we are able to re cherish all those beautiful design stories of ours

    Thanks

    1. Thank you for sharing this information. I agree Jaipur is unique. You inviting your client to the old city must have created quite an impact where he could see for himself.
