Jaipur’s walled city will be shining again soon after heritage restoration

The walled city in Jaipur is more happening than you may think. The city is vibrant, has a rich past and is a well-visited tourist spot. Heritage monuments in the city are currently in a bad shape and since Jaipur is on the path to becoming a smart city. As part of this, the JSCL is renovating several such heritage sites.

The expected date for completion of the work has been postponed. Jaipurites will have to wait if they wish to visit the heritage sights within the walled city.

Jaipur as a city has something really interesting to offer everyone. It has at least nine small markets and narrow lanes with several heritage sights splattered all across. These sites include a variety of old age paintings and carvings, which are now being renovated and undergoing restoration. This process will take more time than expected and tourists, as well as locals, will have to wait until the work is complete.

The restoration process in itself is a long and tiring process. As part of this, several paintings have to be redone, while keeping the age-old essence of it, structures have weakened and they will need to be properly restored.

The authorities have taken the required steps and precautions so as to not disturb the actual look and feel of the walled city. Though they will refill cracked walls and redo the paintings, they have kept in mind to not modernize or change the essence of the structure in any way. At its core, the renovation project is being done mainly so as to make it a better tourist destination and also to preserve the vibrant history of this culture-rich city.

The restoration will again attract more tourism to the city. This way, Jaipur can continue it’s path to becoming developed while still keeping in touch with its roots.
