Jaipur: Sawai Jai Singh's Golden Dream

Sat, 02 Jan 1999 16:12:53 +0000

The only planned city of its time,
Built by Sawai Jai Singh in his prime,
Constructed with pink sandstones pretty,
It’s our own Jaipur city.

It was the emperor’s vision,
It was Jai Singh’s dream and ambition,
constructed in the beautiful nine-grid pattern,
one for each planet, Mercury to Saturn.
The Jantar Mantar of astronomical size,
Is really Jaipur’s finest prize.

And the Hawa Mahal which represents Shri Krishna’s crown,
Is the pride of Jaipur town.
