Ajmer
 Ajmer was founded
in the 11th century by Ajaydev, a local Rajput ruler.
The city is famous for the dargah (tomb) of Sufi Saint
Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan Chisti, whose Urs is celebrated
every year in the seventh month of the Muslim lunar calendar.
Pushkar, a small holy town of Hindus near Ajmer, is now
famous for its camel fair that attract the tourists from
all over the world.
Kishangarh
The miniature paintings of the Kishangarh School developed
in the mid-18th century under the patronage of the royal
family of Kishangarh. The hallmark of these paintings
is the sharp profiles, slanted eyes, and aquiline noses
that make them distinctively different from other paintings
of the same genre in India. The main attractions of Kishangarh
are its fort and Phool Mahal (Flower Palace), now converted
into a hotel.
Roopangarh Fort
The Roopangarh Fort was constructed by King Roop Singh
of Kishangarh in 1648 exclusively for defence. Originally
a nine-turreted fort, new additions were continuously
made to it in couse of time. The different styles of architecture
can be distinctly observed in the fort. Kishangarh and Roopangarh are both situated at a distance
of around 100 km from Jaipur
Sanganer
 This small town with its ruined palace and old Jain temples
is situated around 12 km south-west of Jaipur. However,
more than its architecture, the town is famous for its
block-printing and paper-making traditions. Chipa Basti
is the place where you can watch the printers in workshops
doing screen and block-printing.
