Jaipur sights

We took an elephant ride up to the Amber Fort and toured through the extensive buildings.


On the way back to town, we stopped for lunch with Shingara and had some wonderful chapatis, complete with cooking demonstrations.


The Jantar Mantar is a wacked-out astronomical/astrological "observatory" constructed by Maharaja Jai Singh II in the 18th century.



At the City Palace, we saw a great exhibit of old textiles.
