Jaipur is the Rajasthan capital and its old city centre is well-known by being painted in pink colour (pink is associated to hospitality). Was the maharaja Ram Singh who order to be painted to welcome the prince of Wales and the tradition has been mantained since then.
In this city, apart from seeing camels and elephants in the street for first time, we have also visited its palaces and temples.
In the city palace we saw and participate in a traditional dance peformance and a puppet show. We had our moment of glory , vey funny :-)
We also went to the monkey temple on the surroundings of the city. It looked like a terror movie! There were monkeys everywhere!! Some were fighting, some running, looking at you, getting rid of the fleas..
We arrived to Agra that night in order to see the sunrise in the Taj Mahal.
So nice!!! What woudn't we do for love???? Taj Mahal was ordered to be built by emperor Shah Jahon when his third wife died giving birth to their 14th child. Her death left him so devastated that the legend says that his hair turned grey overnight.
From here we leave to Varanasi...last destination of our trip in this authentic India.
