This is a traffic roundabout In Jaipur. The Statue Circle is not
only the most famed circle but the most swarmly situated too. Almost
half the Jaipur passes by it. It is the favourite lounge of Jaipur
and a place for evening out, with 'Meals on Wheels' standing by.
Strangely it acquires its name of statue circle after its figurine
rather than the grand Sawai Jai Singh the founder of modern day
Jaipur. His statue stands in full imperial symbols of staff and Jai
Singh is made out to be holding out astrological diagrams to
exemplify his proclivity for astrology. The memorial is be fitting
to the great sovereign, builder and futurist. The lighting and the
colourful fountains cheer up the roundabout and its surrounds.
