A pride of peacocks adorn an ornate doorway in Jaipur's City Palace.
Palace retainers stand at attention as in the past when Jaipur Court was headquartered here.
The palace is now a fine museum and houses a remarkable collection of textiles , paintings,
manuscripts, and extraordinary weapons. On display are two huge urns of silver, said to be
the largest silver vessels in the world. Nakkarkhana-ka-Darwaza, the imposing gateway of the City
Palace guarded by stone elephants, is monumental.
