Old Jaipur, the Pink City, the Traffic

Posted on November 27, 2010
Old Jaipur, Pink City, Traffic
It Still Moves

I was looking out from the top story of the Hawa Mahal at Jaipur and found the amount of traffic picture worthy! I was of course stuck in that traffic every time I came to Jauhari Bazaar. But surprisingly it was not so bad, it actually moved.

    You were lucky.
    On the day we headed to Neemrana a few weeks back, we were stuck in such traffic for almost an hour because of some demonstrations going on, and that day it hardly moved.

    Chitra it looks worse than it was!

    Thanks Tarun. 😀

    Nic caption Sanand.

    Fida 😀 if you like in India you get used to the traffic 😀 But I do understand what you are saying.

    Nirmal, I was inside the Hawa Mahal and on the top story to take that picture. And there is no lift inside Hawa Mahal. 😀

    Appu have not been to Chandni Chowk in a long time …sigh.

    Anu old Jaipur is crowded.

    Neemrana near NCR? Yes if there is a demonstration then it can get really bad Celine.
