2. INTRODUCTION TO CITY

3. History of Jaipur
03
• It was founded on 18 November 1727 by
Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II the ruler of
Amber, after whom the city has been
named and the architect of the city was
Vidhyadhar Bhattacharya.
• The city of Jaipur was not meant to be a
fort-town, or a military base, but a centre
for commerce and trading. The new
capital was meticulously planned, keeping
in mind the traditional treatise on
architecture, the Vastu Shastra.

• The city was planned in 9 blocks which
signifies the nine planets and these
blocks follows the grid pattern with roads
linking the whole city.
• Although the 9th block at the north
western part was inhabitable because of
the presence of steep hills hence that part
was shifted to south eastern area forming
an asymmetrical pattern.

4. Layout Plan
04
• Following the directions of the Hindu
Shilpa shastra, width of the main
streets & other lanes were fixed. Thus
the main streets of the city were 111ft.
wide, secondary streets 55 ft. wide &
the smaller ones 27ft. wide. 111 is a
holy number in Hinduism and hence
considered lucky also.
• The directions of each street and
market are East to West and North to
South.
• The commercial shops were designed
in Jaipur in the multiples of nine (27),
having one cross street for a planet.
"Nine" signifies the nine planets of the
ancient astrological zodiac, and twenty-
seven signifies the 27 nakshatras.
