Jaipur, the gateway to one of India’s most flamboyant states, has always been dear to me. Whenever there’s a plan for a weekend getaway, Pink City is the first name that comes to my mind. Relishing Pyaaz Kachori at Rawat, savoring the traditional thali at Laxmi Mishthan Bhandar, and shopping at Bapu Bazar are some of the must-dos on the list. These places have kept the old-charm and culture of Jaipur intact, and you almost feel like a local. But, it was during the last two visits that I decided to explore the other side of the city.
Most of us have always imagined Jaipur as a city with lots of havelis, majestic forts, and local bazaars in its every nook and corner, reflecting its rich history and culture. That’s just one side of the city. Jaipur is as modern as any other metropolitan city in India. It has shopping malls that house some of the most prominent Indian and international brands. When the weather is hot and humid, you will find locals heading to malls to watch a movie, shop or eat. The best part about these mega-complexes is that they have something for every visitor, no matter whatever their age. So, next time you are in Jaipur, I suggest you go a little offbeat and visit the world-class malls. Here’s my list of places to check out.
