lies at a distance of 11 km from Jaipur. He felt the need of shifting his capital
city with the increase in population and growing scarcity of water. The King
consulted several books on architecture and architects before making the
layout of Jaipur. Finally under the architectural guidance of Vidyadar
Bhattacharya, (initially an accounts-clerk in the Amber treasury and later
promoted to the office of Chief Architect by the King) Jaipur came into
existence on the classical basis of principles of Vastu Shastra and similar
classical treatise. The city that once had been the capital of the royalty, now
serves as the capital city of Rajasthan. The very structure of Jaipur resembles
