Albert hall
Located just outside the walled city is the sprawling
Ram Niwas garden, which has always been a place for
recreational activities since the reign of Sawai Ram
Singh ji . This exquisitely designed garden with
forcentry doors and a huge complex with small pools
and fountains, flourishing lawns and beautiful flower
beds all around was basically a famine relief project.
It mostly attracted the British families where they
entertained their guest and families quite often with
the lavish gowns of the Men and formal colourful
attires of the nobels and the high society club
members, this park would come alive with the setting
sun. Their individual 'BAGGIS' were parked outside in a
line and the attendants served around as helpers. The
children basically had a gala timely playing around in
'JHULAS'(swing) etc. During day time it was opened for the
common public and by the evening it was opened for
common public and by the evening it was available for
exclusive lots.
Situated in the middle of the garden as a centre
attraction was the exquisitely built structure of
Albert Hall, which was designed by sir Swinton Jacob, a
British architect who designed many palaces in
Rajasthan. Combining the elements of English and north
Indian architecture known as the pride of the New
Jaipur opened in 1887 AD, it is a very well maintained
and impressive building displaying a rich collection
of Art- de- fact like paintings, carpet, ivory, stone
and metal sculptures and colourful crystal works etc.
Just opposite the Albert Hall is one of the oldest ZOO
in the country, harbouring different species of birds
and animals. Another piece of attraction near the
Albert Hall, is the Ravindra Rang Manch (theatre) with a
modern art gallery and an performing art theatre both
indoor and open air. Recently added joints of interest
are streets dotted with food stalls which promises a
delicious variety of Indian fast food certainly
relished by the tourists. |
