Jaipur, home of royal princes and the fast-paced sport of “chaugan” or polo, racing across verdant playing fields on swift moving steeds, of elegant arabesque designs on stately surahis, vases, wall plates in hues of aquamarine, turquoise and royal blue in beautiful Blue Pottery artefacts, gems, jewellery, rainbow coloured fabrics et al, is a colourful prelude to its priceless heritage of palatial palaces, impressive forts, stately gardens and so much more.....
