PS0: Post found in Gmail drafts dated Nov, 2009.

PS1: Yes , author needs distraction.

Third party wedding venues can also be travel destinations due to below said reasons

a)you do the noble act of attending the wedding

b)The leaves get approved easily by all parties.

c)You get to meet the myriad relatives and friends

And in the back-drop , if the rituals are already carried out at respective natives of bride and groom sides , time permits you to travel and explore venue beyond the pandals.

The author headed  ethnic Rajasthan’s heart –pink city- Jaipur for cousin’s nuptials

Minus the shopping , the main sites i.e the killas and palaces can be covered in one day.

• Hawa Mahal

• Amber Fort

• Nahargarh Fort

• City Palace

• Jal Mahal

We started with Jal Mahal> Amber Fort> Nahargarh >City palace >Hawa mahal

Jal mahal located in the center of the lake has not much to offer , 15 minutes is more than enough and is on the way to Amber

Amber is "THE" palace to invest both time , camera and money.

2 hours is the time which includes an elephant ride to reach the top.

The rugged exteriors wrapped the most ethinic and rich and intricate interiors

• The places can be covered in 1 day , shopping can take another half.

• Save all the time for Amber and City palace.

• Other killas are mostly ruins .
