About this audio guide
This guide to Ramniwas Bagh in Jaipur traces back to 1868, when Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh II answered a drought-driven famine by commissioning a sweeping public garden and putting starving villagers to work digging its paths. You'll hear about Ram Singh II himself, a king crowned at sixteen months who filled Jaipur with schools, hospitals, gas lighting and his own private photography studio. Architect Swinton Jacob, the British officer who designed the grounds, also gets his due.
