Of
all the princely states of yore in India, Rajputana (the region around
Jaipur) is undoubtedly the one with the most martial record. It was a state
of warring factions locked in deadly warfare, thousands of royal ladies
consigning themselves to flames preferring death to dishonor. In this land,
towering forts were built not only for ostentation but also to intimidate
the enemy. Today, Jaipur is the personification of the old order influence
the new. An inherent feel for color and design percolated ever stratum of
society, and jewelry, crafts and architecture became objects of delight
equally between prince and peasant.
