Chandpol Darwaza - Historical landmark in Jaipur - Jaipur, India

There is a very wonderful door and directly from here this door goes towards Chhoti Chopar, Badi Chopar via Chandpol Bazar. The fun of seeing Pink City Jaipur is different, very beautiful market inside and the view of Pink City Jaipur is visible.

I did not have the time to get down and marvel at the details as I did in Ajmer gate, owing it to being big and having dedicate space to enjoy view, I was comfortable going so. This one looked more like facade instead of Gate. I'm doubtful if this served any military purpose. Regular Rajastani architecture, which makes the gate entirely skippable (or as I did, pass by it) I went on Navaratri holiday and I could see floats and light decorations on the road, which made it even better.

Among rest of the gates in pink city Chandpole Gate is one of them. It is beautifully designed by the earlier king of Jaipur in 17th century. The basic motive to design and manufacture these gates were, that time they wanted protection from enemy that could affect his governance so, these gates were closed earlier at night so that no one could enter easily without permission. Nowadays, these become heritage for the people that can maintain the recognition in mind that what this is for. Visit here to understand better. Love this Pink City if anyone want to visit Jaipur then have at list 3 days stay program and try to view Amer Fort, Nahar Singh fort, Jantar Manter, Museum, Birla Tample, Raj Mandir, Kanak Ghati and Baag, take photo at jal Mahal, also view Hawamahal. For stay at Jaipur choose hotel by own and never take help of auto rikshaw, because the have commission deal with hotels, room are available from 300 and AC from 500 and highest as you wish. Once in life Jaipur should be visited with family. Food on Amer fort road must avoid because their food has no quality and price are very high. Jaipur is very peaceful city and very beautiful for vacation during winter season, summer should avoided.

Impresive Gate with pink-orange color! Unique architect! A lot of people go through this gate and have a temple beside.

The knock knock joke here in Jaipur's walled city would take on a completely different meaning with its many doors/ Darwazas/gates spread across the city. We asked many denizens of Jaipur to list the Darwazas of the city and though everybody seemed to agree that they are between 7 to 9 gates in the city but the names on everybody's list were different. So we dug a bit deeper and have put together a small yet detailed guide for tourists and residents of Jaipur alike to know your one exquisite darwaza of the walled city of Jaipur from another and to never again get lost in the city. Sawai Raja Jai Singh II did half the work with his architect by planning the city in 3 X 3 squares based on the Indian Vastu-Purush-Mandala. These squares and thus all the roads are aligned North-South or East- West. These 9 +1 squares constitute the Jaipur's walled city. The city is guarded by 7 primary gates or pols which formed the entry-exit points into the walled city. They are a part of the city ramparts and each gate is unique and its name carries a clue to its location and reason why it's called that. (Yes, our very own Da-Vinci Code!). The very first clue is, when in doubt - Look up!! The centermost square of the Old City is the City Palace and Govind Dev Ji Temple Chand Pol means the Moon Gate . Along the East-West Axis of the City, it lies diagrammatically opposite to the Suraj Pol and forms the Western Gate of the walled City.Spot the famous and ancient Chandpole Hanuman Ji Temple with its 25 feet high Shikhar abutting the gate, if you are here you know you have reached the western end of the walled city.
