Jaigarh fort means "Winning fort" was a classic exemplar of the best architectural patterns of those times. If you want to peek in the beauty of the forts fort Amer is the best, but opt Jaigarh only if you want a peek at a hard-core fortress of Rajasthan.Pinkcity travelerhttp://www.pinkcity_youth.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550933650092646667.post-47705063297561894052012-09-16T22:16:16.411+05:302012-09-16T22:16:16.411+05:30Thanks Swati!Thanks Swati!Anuradha Shankarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10460310200883662583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550933650092646667.post-10465168502454995532012-09-16T15:38:54.015+05:302012-09-16T15:38:54.015+05:30Nice post.

'the path of least resistance' is absolutely the perfect way to put it.... and I wondered how many of my readers would pick out that from this post.. as of now, you are the only one!! these days, wherever i go, i feel more and more aware of this.. it all began in jodhpur, when a watchman who showed us around the palace museum told us "while the real rajputs were busy fighting and losing their lives, their homes and their families, these kings took the easy way out, joined hands with first the mughals, then the english, kept their palaces, went abroad to study and live, and came back to claim their heritage and are still making money...while little remains of the families who actually fought for their independance'... <br />and as you pointed out, it is exactly the same today....and not just politically, even in our day to day life, dont we see that those who take the path of least resistance manage to hold on to their material stuff,, while those who fight end up with nothing (mostly at least)Anuradha Shankarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10460310200883662583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550933650092646667.post-51467075307958281512012-09-15T13:39:13.614+05:302012-09-15T13:39:13.614+05:30Thanks Indrani!!

One thing that stood out for me in the narrative was the fact that all the opulence has remained untarnished largely because of the rulers of Jaipur chose to take the path of least resistance. Isn't it the same in today's scenario? If you want to safeguard yourself and yours, join with the rulers, so what if they are 'democratically' elected?Zephyrhttp://cybernag.innoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550933650092646667.post-7211411257356009112012-09-14T18:36:35.357+05:302012-09-14T18:36:35.357+05:30So many pictures.
