Sawai Jai Singh II established the city of Jaipur in 1727, moving the capital from the congested hill town of Amber. Jaipur was planned according to Hindu texts on city planning, with a grid layout divided into nine wards by main streets oriented along the cardinal directions. This layout aligned with the site's geography, incorporating existing roads and a natural ridge line. The new capital strengthened the region's defenses and economy by its strategic location and planned design.
The case study is about the india's most well planned city that is Jaipur, Rajasthan. what is the urban sprawl in that city and how it grows that will expained in that.
Raj Rewal is an Indian architect born in 1934 who helped design the Asian Games Village housing complex in New Delhi from 1980-1982. The summary focuses on key design aspects of the housing complex. It clusters buildings to recreate the layout of traditional Indian communities. It includes courtyards as public spaces and scattered terraces for outdoor living. The streets are narrow and broken up into small units to provide shade and resting places, with gateways and bridges linking neighboring houses.

Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. It has a population of over 3 million today. Jaipur is known as the "Pink City" due to its distinctive pink-colored buildings. It was planned according to the Shilpa Shastra, with a grid layout of nine blocks divided by wide thoroughfares, and included public squares and markets. This strategic town planning makes Jaipur one of the first planned cities in India.
The document discusses the city planning of Chandigarh, India. It describes how Le Corbusier revised the initial plan by Albert Mayer, dividing the city into sectors of about 1200 by 800 meters. Each sector was designed as an autonomous neighborhood with housing, schools, shops, and recreational spaces. The capital complex was shifted to a higher ground and designed according to Le Corbusier's philosophies. While the planning approach was praised for creating a well-organized city, it was also criticized for being too standardized and not reflecting Indian culture and ways of life. The document analyzes the planning concepts and provides an overview of the development of Chandigarh.

This document provides case studies and details of three housing projects: Yamuna Housing Apartments in Delhi, Asian Games Village in Delhi, and ACC Township Waldi in Sri Lanka. For Yamuna Housing Apartments, it describes the concept of designing an "urban village" with pedestrian streets and a central square. It discusses the dwelling unit designs, built form with staggered balconies, pedestrian pathways, community spaces, landscaping, and parking layout. Merits include maintaining neighborhood and privacy while utilizing site space, and demerits note exposed security pipes.
The document summarizes the development of the city structure of Bhubaneswar, India over time. It describes how the city began as a temple town (until 1948) and was then established as the new capital of Orissa in 1948, with a master plan developed by Otto Koenigsberger. It outlines the stages of the city's growth, including the establishment of institutions from 1956-1976, organized sector developments from 1976 onward, and the current extent and layout of the city. Land use is also summarized, including the original 1968 master plan and subsequent 1988-2001 comprehensive development plan.
The document describes the Tara Housing Group project in New Delhi, India. It was designed to provide affordable housing for middle-class families in a suburb of New Delhi. The design arranged single-family flats into united blocks around a central garden. This preserved privacy while providing access to shared open space. Each unit had an open terrace and maximized natural light and ventilation. While successful for its time, the design faces challenges today in accommodating increased living standards and development regulations around services, density, parking, and unit sizes. However, the social aspects of community space, interaction, and comfort remain relevant lessons for contemporary housing.
Bhubaneswar was chosen as the capital of Odisha in 1948 to replace the congested city of Cuttack. The architect Dr. Otto Koenigsberger designed the new capital based on principles of neighborhood planning to reduce inequality. The plan divided the city into neighborhood units with amenities like schools and parks. It has since grown rapidly but maintained livability through stable growth and capitalizing on heritage, location, and strategic planning of institutions.

The Belapur Housing project in Navi Mumbai, also known as the Artist's Village, was designed by architect Charles Correa in 1986 to provide affordable housing for artists. The project consisted of 550 low-rise dwelling units spread across 6 hectares of land in a high-density development. Each unit was placed on its own plot to allow residents to freely modify and expand their homes over time. While originally intended for artists, few artists ultimately lived there as it was located far from Mumbai's urban center. Over the decades, residents have significantly modified the structures, often expanding vertically rather than horizontally as originally planned.
Study of city evolution- temple town Madurai Sulthan Ahamed
Madurai, located in Tamil Nadu, India, is an ancient city with a long history as the capital of the Pandyan Kingdom. Known as the "Athens of the East," the city evolved around the Meenakshi Amman Temple complex located at its center. Madurai was carefully planned according to traditional Indian principles with concentric streets radiating outward from the temple. Lower castes lived farther from the temple core. Today, Madurai remains an important economic, cultural, and transportation hub of Tamil Nadu renowned for its vibrant cultural life and traditions.
- Jaipur was established in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II as the new capital of Amber to replace the old congested city.
- It was planned according to the principles of Hindu architecture and town planning with a grid layout divided into nine blocks by main streets.
- The city was strategically located on a plain bounded by hills which provided natural fortification and building materials, and access to water supplies.
This presentation covers the Urban Planning stages of Bhubaneswar, one of India's first modern cities along with Jamshedpur and Chandigarh. This city, the current capital of the coastal state of Odisha, was planned the German architect and urban planner, Otto Konigsberger, who also happens to be the author of 'Manual of Tropical Housing and Building.'
Chandigarh city planning by Le CorbusierAs Per Design
Le Corbusier was commissioned to design the new capital city of Chandigarh after the previous designers withdrew from the project. He retained the basic fan-shaped layout but converted it to a grid pattern with sectors. His design compressed the area while increasing density and respecting garden city principles. Chandigarh's plan was conceived as analogous to the human body, with defined areas serving as the head, heart, lungs, and other organs connected by a road network. Key features included sectors, a central business district, cultural/educational institutions, and open green spaces.
The document describes the Artists Village housing project in Belapur, Navi Mumbai. It was originally built to house artists but now has mixed occupancy. The project demonstrated high-density affordable housing through low-rise courtyard homes arranged in clusters around shared spaces. While some design aspects like ample green space were successful, other issues emerged over time like a lack of parking and commercial spaces leading to encroachment. The unique village character has been lost due to urbanization, though security and community aspects remain.
Amanora Park Town is a 400-acre integrated township located in Hadapsar, Pune. It includes various residential projects like Gateway Towers, Gold Towers, and Adreno Towers, as well as commercial areas and amenities like a school, mall, and hospital. The township was conceived as India's first fully developed smart city and incorporates latest technologies. It is situated near various IT parks with connectivity to the airport and railway station.
Raj Rewal designed the Sheikh Sarai housing complex in New Delhi in 1970 as his first large-scale social housing project. The 550-unit complex was structured according to regulations to provide affordable self-housing and technical standards. Rewal drew inspiration from the dense, interconnected urban fabrics and narrow shaded streets of historical cities in Rajasthan like Jaisalmer and Udaipur. The complex features clusters of buildings organized around intimate courtyards and roof terraces, with segregated pedestrian and vehicular access. Materials and construction methods were chosen to be locally sourced and affordable.
The document discusses the town planning of Delhi, including its geography, history of urbanization, population growth trends, and master plans implemented over time to accommodate increasing population. It provides details on the planning and development of Shahjahanabad during Mughal rule in the 17th century, including the layout of key areas like the Red Fort, Jama Masjid mosque, streets, neighborhoods, gardens and city walls. It also briefly outlines the subsequent development of Lutyens' Delhi after Delhi became the capital under British rule in the early 20th century.
The Aranya Community Housing project in Indore, India aimed to provide affordable housing for lower income groups through a planned, serviced site development approach. The 85 hectare site was divided into 6 sectors serving different income levels. The master plan emphasized a hierarchy of roads, open spaces, and mixed land uses to create integrated neighborhoods. Housing typologies allowed for incremental expansion over time. Core housing units provided basic facilities with flexibility for residents to customize indoor and outdoor spaces. Materials and construction methods were locally sourced and labor intensive to keep costs low.
Jawahar Kala Kendra is a cultural centre in Jaipur, India dedicated to Jawaharlal Nehru. Architect Charles Correa designed the centre based on the original city plan of Jaipur, arranging squares to represent the nine planets. The 9.5 acre complex includes art galleries, workshops, a library, and Shilpgram, a rural complex with replicas of huts from different regions of Rajasthan showcasing crafts and culture. By invoking the original city plan and using local materials like red sandstone, Correa created a space that blends traditional Indian concepts with contemporary design to display and promote India's cultural heritage.
Radburn was a planned community developed in 1929 in New Jersey as a response to rapid urbanization. It included single family homes, row houses, apartments and amenities across 149 acres. Key features included separating pedestrian and vehicle networks using cul-de-sacs and footpaths, orienting homes around common green spaces rather than facing streets, and organizing commercial areas at block intersections. While innovative at the time, some elements like underused front green spaces and preferences for more private yards led to some failures in implementation. Overall though, Radburn demonstrated an early model for planned communities that influenced later suburban developments.
Jaipur was established in the 18th century by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II as the new capital of Amber. There were military and geographical reasons for changing the capital, as the old city of Amber was located on a congested hill. Jai Singh also wanted the new capital to be a strong political statement on par with Mughal cities, and serve as a thriving center of trade. The layout of Jaipur was carefully planned according to Hindu texts, with major roads intersecting in a grid pattern divided into nine blocks. The pink color of the city's buildings was likely intended to cut glare or imitate Mughal architecture, and welcome a British dignitary. Squares called chaupars
Gandhinagar was established in the 1960s as the new capital of Gujarat after its separation from Bombay state (now Maharashtra). It was designed by two architects who drew inspiration from Chandigarh, with a grid street pattern and superimposed networks for vehicles and pedestrians. The city is named after Mahatma Gandhi and contains numerous statues in his honor. It has a tropical climate and experiences hot summers, monsoon rains, and mild winters. Key landmarks include the Akshardham Temple, GIFT City Tower, and Adalaj Stepwell. The city's growth began around the capital complex and expanded outward to surrounding villages.

There were military and geographical reasons for changing the capital, as the old city of Amber was located on a congested hill. Jai Singh also wanted the new capital to be a strong political statement on par with Mughal cities, and serve as a thriving center of trade. The layout of Jaipur was carefully planned according to Hindu texts, with major roads intersecting in a grid pattern divided into nine blocks. The pink color of the city's buildings was likely intended to cut glare or imitate Mughal architecture, and welcome a British dignitary. Squares called chaupars
Gandhinagar was established in the 1960s as the new capital of Gujarat after its separation from Bombay state (now Maharashtra). It was designed by two architects who drew inspiration from Chandigarh, with a grid street pattern and superimposed networks for vehicles and pedestrians. The city is named after Mahatma Gandhi and contains numerous statues in his honor. It has a tropical climate and experiences hot summers, monsoon rains, and mild winters. Key landmarks include the Akshardham Temple, GIFT City Tower, and Adalaj Stepwell. The city's growth began around the capital complex and expanded outward to surrounding villages.
City planning of Jaipur began in 1727 when Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II decided to move his capital from Amber to a new city near Amber. He designed Jaipur's layout based on principles of urban planning described in ancient Hindu texts, with nine blocks divided by broad streets intersecting at the central Chaugan. The palace complex occupied two blocks at the center, with the remaining areas housing different communities. The walled city was painted pink in the late 1800s to welcome a royal visit, and Jaipur has been known as the Pink City since.
The document summarizes the key components and goals of the Philippines' Tourism Master Plan from 1991-2010. The plan aimed to optimize tourism's economic contribution, enhance social and cultural aspects, develop sustainability, and diversify destinations. It identified clusters, gateways and policies to develop infrastructure, marketing and products. The plan's accomplishments from 1992-1999 included transport upgrades, marketing campaigns, and new attractions. Subsequent medium-term plans from 2001-2004 and 2004-2010 set targets to increase visitor arrivals, receipts and jobs in the tourism industry.
The entire process of structural planning and design requires not only imagination and conceptual thinking but also sound knowledge of practical aspects, such as recent design codes and bye-laws, backed up by ample experience, institution and judgment.
It is emphasized that any structure to be constructed must satisfy the need efficiency for which it is intended and shall be durable for its desired life span. Thus, the design of any structure is categorizes into following two main types:-
1. Functional design
2. Structural design
Once the form of the structure is selected, the structural design process starts. Structural design is an art and science of understanding the behavior of structural members subjected to loads and designing them with economy and elegance to give a safe, serviceable and durable structure.
Jaipur was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II as the new capital of Amber. It was designed based on principles of Hindu architecture and town planning with directions of streets following a grid pattern. The city has a hot semi-arid climate with temperatures peaking in summer and moderate rainfall concentrated in the monsoon season. Popular tourist attractions in Jaipur include festivals celebrating local culture, various forts and palaces showcasing Rajasthani architecture, and local cuisine such as Dal Bati Churma.
Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II.

The document summarizes the town plan for Auroville, a universal township located in Tamil Nadu, India. It describes Auroville as a place where people from any country or caste can live in peace. Currently, Auroville has a population of 2,345 people from 45 countries, with the original master plan aiming for 50,000 residents. The central concept and layout of Auroville was developed by Mirra Alfassa, with land divided into residential, industrial, international, cultural and peace zones surrounding a green belt. Infrastructure for water, waste water treatment, power generation, roads and transportation focuses on renewable resources and sustainability.
The document discusses the traditional vernacular architecture of Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. It is characterized by the use of local materials like golden sandstone, which is soft and easily carved. Houses are constructed without mortar by cutting "scissors" into the stone. Traditional houses feature courtyards, thick insulating walls, small windows for light and ventilation, and textured surfaces to minimize heat gain. Local plants are used for construction, and mud, sand, cow dung and plant fibers form insulated roofs and walls. The architecture is adapted to the hot, arid climate with dense forms, orientation according to wind patterns, and other passive cooling techniques.
Auroville is an experimental township located in Tamil Nadu, India that was founded in 1968. It was envisioned as a city where people from all countries can live in peace and harmony above all creeds, politics, and nationalities. The city is planned to accommodate up to 50,000 residents and is divided into zones for industry, housing, culture, and recreation with a large green belt. Current population is around 2,160 people from over 45 nations who participate in agriculture, manufacturing, education and research to support the self-sustaining community.
The capital of British India was shifted from Calcutta to Delhi in 1911. British architect Edwin Lutyens was tasked with planning and designing New Delhi. Lutyens designed an expansive garden city with wide avenues and classical buildings. Key elements of the design included the Rashtrapati Bhavan, Secretariat buildings, Parliament House, residential areas, and princely state palaces. However, the rapid growth of Old Delhi was not adequately planned for, leading to overcrowding and deterioration.

A master plan or a development plan or a town plan may be
defined as a
general plan for the future layout of a city showing both the existing and
proposed streets or roads, open spaces, public buildings etc. A master
plan is prepared either for improvement of an old city or for a new
town to be developed on a virgin soil. A master plan is a blueprint for the
future. It is an comprehensive document, long-range in its view, that
is intended to guide development in the
township for the next 10 to 20 years.

Jaipur is laid out in a grid pattern divided into nine blocks based on the concept of a mandala. The central streets and intersections form the structure of the city. Key reasons for founding Jaipur were defense needs, availability of resources, and allowing Amber to expand. The city's architecture and public spaces still reflect its original planned design.
Jaipur is the first planned city in India, designed based on principles in ancient Hindu texts. It is laid out in a grid of nine blocks divided by wide streets, with the central axis running from the Sun Gate to the Moon Gate. Major roads are 33m wide and divide the city into sectors. Narrower streets and alleys further divide sectors into neighborhoods. Markets and public squares are located at the intersections of major roads. The uniform facades along main streets and pre-planned dimensions of streets and blocks give the city a coordinated appearance.
Jaipur was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II as the new capital of Amber due to safety concerns with Amber's location and increasing population. Jaipur was planned with a grid-like layout on flat land south of Amber to allow for expansion. The city was designed for defense, with natural barriers of hills to the north and east. Water supply was ensured through dams and channels. Over time, the city expanded beyond its original walled boundaries under later rulers in the 18th-19th centuries, adopting modern infrastructure like railways. Jaipur became an important religious and commercial center.

LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...DanBrown980551
This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured:
-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
The Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) invited Taylor Paschal, Knowledge & Information Management Consultant at Enterprise Knowledge, to speak at a Knowledge Management Lunch and Learn hosted on June 12, 2024. All Office of Administration staff were invited to attend and received professional development credit for participating in the voluntary event.
The objectives of the Lunch and Learn presentation were to:
- Review what KM ‘is’ and ‘isn’t’
- Understand the value of KM and the benefits of engaging
- Define and reflect on your “what’s in it for me?”
- Share actionable ways you can participate in Knowledge - - Capture & Transfer
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
This talk will cover ScyllaDB Architecture from the cluster-level view and zoom in on data distribution and internal node architecture. In the process, we will learn the secret sauce used to get ScyllaDB's high availability and superior performance. We will also touch on the upcoming changes to ScyllaDB architecture, moving to strongly consistent metadata and tablets.
An All-Around Benchmark of the DBaaS MarketScyllaDB
The entire database market is moving towards Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), resulting in a heterogeneous DBaaS landscape shaped by database vendors, cloud providers, and DBaaS brokers. This DBaaS landscape is rapidly evolving and the DBaaS products differ in their features but also their price and performance capabilities. In consequence, selecting the optimal DBaaS provider for the customer needs becomes a challenge, especially for performance-critical applications.
To enable an on-demand comparison of the DBaaS landscape we present the benchANT DBaaS Navigator, an open DBaaS comparison platform for management and deployment features, costs, and performance. The DBaaS Navigator is an open data platform that enables the comparison of over 20 DBaaS providers for the relational and NoSQL databases.
This talk will provide a brief overview of the benchmarked categories with a focus on the technical categories such as price/performance for NoSQL DBaaS and how ScyllaDB Cloud is performing.
So You've Lost Quorum: Lessons From Accidental DowntimeScyllaDB
The best thing about databases is that they always work as intended, and never suffer any downtime. You'll never see a system go offline because of a database outage. In this talk, Bo Ingram -- staff engineer at Discord and author of ScyllaDB in Action --- dives into an outage with one of their ScyllaDB clusters, showing how a stressed ScyllaDB cluster looks and behaves during an incident. You'll learn about how to diagnose issues in your clusters, see how external failure modes manifest in ScyllaDB, and how you can avoid making a fault too big to tolerate.

fort of Jaigarh and the Amber palace beyond, and the hills on
the east, which contained the sacred spot of Galtaji.
WATER SUPPLY : the Darbhavati river in the north was
dammed to create the Jai Sagar and Man Sagar (that later
housed the Jal Mahal) lakes. Later the Jhotwara River in the
north west was diverted through the Amani Shah Nallah and
a number of canals were channelised through Brahmapuri
and Jai Niwas to supply water to the city.

6. The medieval towns of Rajasthan were of military, agrarian, mercantile or religious nature.
The presence of a deity marked the reference point for the ruler’s abode and the rest of the city.
The name of the town was usually associated with the political or religious centre (with the
Ambikeshwar temple in the case of Amber and with Sawai Jai Singh in the case of Jaipur).

7. PLANNING OF THE CITY
Unlike Dausa and Amber, the two previous capital
cities of the Dhoondhar region established on hilltop, whose planning was guided by topographical
structure of the areas, Jaipur city was revolutionary
both in terms of its grid-iron pattern planning and its
location at the base of the hills.
There was also a significant economic shift from an
agricultural base in Dausa and Amber to trading in
the capital of Jaipur.
The layout of the city of Jaipur wonderfully links the
concept of a Shastric city with the practicalities of
the chosen site.
First, the straight line of the ridge suggested itself as
the route for one of the main east-west thorough
fares and building a road along its crest makes best
possible use of the topography for the purpose of
drainage.
What followed then was to regularize the AmberSanganer road as a north-south route at right angles
to it.
The point of intersection would be one of the city’s
main cross-roads (chaupar)

The intersection of the axes to define the Badi Chaupar (City
Square).
8. A road cutting the plain from N to S linking
Amber,the capital to Sanganer, the principal
trading town. This road had to be preserved
and controlled and therefore had to fall
within the city’s boundaries
A second road ran E to W between the
Mughal cities of Agra and Ajmer and placing
the new city on this already established
communication line would help secure its
economic success. However since this was an
imperial road that could not be encroached
on, thus the city had to be contained to the
north of this line.
Also, a natural ridge runs across the plain, N
of the road and parallel to it, in a roughly EW
alignment (with a slight deviation of15 deg.
from the cardinal axes). The area to its S is
flat while that to its N slopes down gently. In
Shastric terms, this is an ideal arrangement as
declivity towards the north-east Is
considered the best site. In practical
terms, the ridge too had to be
accommodated

9. It is a model of town
planning the first planned
city in India. It is based on
Hindu systems of town
planning and followed the
principles prescribed in the
Shilpa-shastra, an ancient
Indian treatise on
architecture .according to
this shastra the site should
be divided into grids or
mandalas ranging from 2x 2
to 10 x 10.
Planned according to the
Prastara type of layout,
which gives prominence to
the cardinal directions.
Thus plan of jaipur is a grid
of 3x3 with gridlines being
the city’s main streets.

10. The central axis of the town was laid from East to West between the gates of the Sun(Suraj pol) and
the moon(Chandpol) .
This was crossed by two roads at right angles dividing the town into nine almost square, almost
equally sized blocks, which were further sub divided by lanes and alleys all at right angles.
By building the western boundary of the city right up to the hill’s southern apex, it provided a
continuous line of defense.
The mandala could not be complete in the NW due to the presence of the hills.
On the other hand in the SE an extra square has been added that plugged the gap between the city
and the eastern hills.

four almost equal rectangles.
The rectangle opposite the
palace has been broken up into
two equal and smaller
rectangles by the Chaura
Rasta.Thus altogether there are
now five rectangles on the

Chowkris.
On the North of the main road
from West to East are the Purani

The palace building covered two
blocks, the town six and the
remaining ninth block was not
usable on account of steep hills. So
this North-West ward was
transferred to the South-East corner
of the city, making the shape of the
plan as a whole asymmetrical rather
than square.
The city’s division into nine wards
was also in conformity with the
Hindu caste system, which
necessitated the segregation of
people belonging to different
communities and ranks.
Even the lanes were named after
the occupations of inhabitants such
as Maniharon ka Rasta, Thatheron
ka Rasta & many others.
Following the directions of the
Hindu Shilpa shastra, width of the
main streets & other lanes were
fixed. Thus the main streets of the
city were 111ft. wide, secondary
streets 55 ft. wide & the smaller
ones 27ft. wide.

15. The reasons for painting the town pink are
unknown, but various theories have been tossed
about:
•
using pink to cut down glare
•
Jai Singh II's apparent devotion to Lord Shiva
(whose favorite color is reputedly terra cotta).
•
Others believe Singh wanted to imitate the color
of the sandstone used in the forts and palaces of
his Mughal emperor-friends.
•
The most popular reason (spread no doubt by
"Britishers" during the Raj era) is that pink is the
traditional color of hospitality, and the city was
freshly painted and paved with pink gravel to
warmly welcome Edward VII for his visit here in
1876.
16. ROAD NETWORK

•
Jaipur’s road network follows a definite hierarchy. The major east-west and north-south road ,form
the sector boundaries and are called Rajmarg as they lead to the city gates. These measure 33m.
wide.
Next there is a network of 16.5m wide which runs north-south in each sector linking the internal
areas of the sectors to the major activity spine.
An orthogonal grid of 8.25mx4.00m roads in the prastara-chessboard pattern further divide
sectors into Mohallas.

View of a chaupar today
The main markets, havelis and temples on
the main streets in Jaipur were constructed
by the state in the 18th century, thus
ensuring that a uniform street facade is
maintained. The widths of roads were
predetermined.
Junctions of the main axial streets formed
the two square civic open spaces called
chaupars (Badi chaupar and Chhoti
chaupar). The width of the square chaupars
was three times that of the main street.
Historically, the chaupars were outlets for
intense social use with water structures
connected by underground
aqueducts, supplying numerous sources of
drinking water at street level. Presently, the
centre of each chaupar has square
enclosures with ornamental fountains.
The streets and chowks (central open
squares in a town) of the internal
chowkries (sectors) with numerous clusters
or mohallas were not predetermined;
hence show a mix of grid iron and organic
pattern, with the basic unit of built form
being the rectangular haveli.

•
•
Original markets in the city include Kishanpole bazaar, Gangauri bazaar, Johari bazaar, Sireh Deorhi
bazaar, along the main north-south and east-west axes that intersect at Chhoti and Badi Chaupars.
Typical architectural features of the bazaar streets are - use of chhajjas (sunshades) resulting in strong
horizontal lines, projecting vertical blocks on brackets, a modular system of arches filled with delicate
latticed screens to cut direct sun and glare of reflected sun in the street.
Bazaar streets have temples above shops with wide staircase starting from pavement to the temple level.
Space above shops at first floor level originally functioned as galleries for watching royal processions,
religious festivals and public celebrations
On the main streets strict control was exercised on the street façade, along which were located shops
and arcades- one storey high, but beyond the frontage the buildings could be of any height or any shape,
some built with flat roofs & others with traditional chattris.

27. ARCHITECTURE OF JAIPUR
HAWA MAHAL
• The main architect of this palace built of red and pink sandstone, is Lal
Chand Ustad and the palace is believed to have been constructed in the
form of the crown of Krishna, the Hindu god. Considered as an
embodiment of Rajputana architecture, the main highlight of Hawa Mahal is
its pyramid shape and its 953 windows or 'Jharokhas' which are
decorated with intricate designs.
• The main intention behind the construction of the Mahal was to facilitate the
royal women and provide them a view of everyday life through the
windows, as they never appeared in public.
28. Architecture
• Hawa Mahal, designed as a beehive castle with small windows, has a
height of 50 feet from its base.
• This structure, erected on a thin shield or podium approximately fifty feet
high, has walls less than a foot thick.
• Constructed of red and pink sandstones by Lal Chand Ustad,
• Hawa Mahal is famous for its windows or 'Jharokhas' which enable free
circulation of air within the structure.

• The interior of the Hawa Mahal is stark and plain with passages and pillars
reaching to the top storey. The building does not have stairs to reach the upper
floors; the storeys are connected by slopes. From Hawa Mahal, you have an
excellent view of the city.

Architectural Layout
The structure has four different parts, each with a separate entrance. The main entry to
the fort is through the 'Suraj Pol' or Sun Gate which opens up into the main courtyard.
This east-facing gate is also the main entrance to the palace and its position with
respect to the rising sun is the source of its name. The 'Jaleb Chowk' is one of the four
courtyards of the Amer Palace. The 'Sila Devi' Temple is right at the entrance to the
main palace grounds. The second courtyard is famous for its 'Diwan-i-Aam' (Public
Audience Hall), the 'Sheesh Mahal' and the 'Sukh Mahal'. A very famous attraction here
is the 'Magic Flower', a fresco carved out of marble.
