4. History
The Jaipur region used to be under the Matsya Kingdom.
Modern Jaipur was formed only after Maharaja Ram Seo Master II
made it his capital in 1727 , because of water scarcity problems in his
ex-capital, Amber(11km from Jaipur).
The King consulted several books on architecture and architects before
making the layout of Jaipur. Finally, under the architectural guidance
of Vidhyadhar Bhattacharya , Jaipur came into existence on the
classical principles of Vastu Shastra and similar classical treatises.
5. Architecture
Being a lover of astronomy, mathematics and astrophysics, Jai Singh
sought advice from Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, a Brahmin scholar of Bengal,
to aid him in designing many buildings, including the Royal Palace in the
center of the city.
The city was divided into 9 blocks: two blocks containing the state
buildings and palaces, and the other seven for the public.
Huge fortification walls were built, along with seven strong gates, for
Security purposes.
This architecture was very advanced and the best among others in the
Indian subcontinent at that time.
6. The city was planned according to Indian Vastu Shastra (Vedic
Planning for the comfort and prosperity of the citizens).
The directions of each street and market are East to West and North to
South. The Eastern gate is called Suraj (Sun) Pol, while the Western
gate is called Chand (Moon) Pol.
There are three gates facing East, West, and North and a Northern
gate (known as Zorawar Singh gate) which faces toward the ancestral
capital of Amber, while many gates face South.
Jai Singh II and his advisor Vidyadhar, the founding of Jaipur was
a ritual and opportunity to plan a whole town according to the
principles of Hindu architectural theory.
