The dull pink houses of Jaipur come alive by the colorful attires and interesting turbans worn by its residents. Though, modern fashion has its hold among the higher societies, Jaipur is still largely a profitable commercial center and market place for the nearby rural areas of Rajasthan. Rajasthan villagers come to the city dressed in their various styles of 'pagadis' dyed in rich colors that are a marked distinction among people of different castes and the Rajput families to which they belong. Women dressed in their swirling skirts and traditional attires known as 'Ghaghra-Choli'; often wear unique enameled jewelry, adorned with 'Kundan' and 'Meenakari' work. They wear heavy lac bangles that reach above their elbows and often have tattoos on their arms and even chin. The brown-colored desert people are quite affable and win the hearts of the tourists with their sweet smiles and warm and cordial hospitality. The joyous and festive spirits of the colorful people of the city come alive with the various fairs and festivals of the city. The echoing sounds of the folk songs and graceful and skilful movements of the regional dances struck one with their imposing and lingering impressions. The museums and the palaces are still guarded with royal valets clothed in turbans and full livery preserving the royal etiquettes just like the splendor of their architecture and grandeur of their regal belongings. The bazaars of Jaipur have a timeless appeal and one cannot help but admire the beauty of Rajasthani handlooms, handicrafts and items made of came leather. The ambling camels and cheerful people dressed in multihued costumes are likewise a part of cultural identity of Jaipur. |
