Loading...Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan is the first planned city of India and was designed by Vidyadhar Bhattacharya for Raja Sawai Jai Singh. To pay a tribute to the architect's genius Vidhyadhar Garden was built in his honor in the year 1988. The garden was designed according to the ancient texts of the 'Shilpa Shastra', the ancient Indian line of architecture used by Vidyadhar while planning the city. The garden was believed to have been a vineyard, situated in the vicinity of the Sisodia gardens.
It is a perfect fusion of Mugal and contemporary Indian architecture. With its marvelously chiseled fountains, vivacious pavilions, sylvan lakes and stunning galleries the garden look really imposing.
The Mural paintings portraying lord Krishna and well-maintained flower beds add its magical charm. The walls are engraved with intricate latticework, and mirror work in the temple makes it highly attractive to the tourists.
