About this audio guide
This guide to Tripolia Bazar in Jaipur follows the market street Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II laid out toward his palace in 1727, ending at a triple-arched gate reserved for royalty and never opened to the public. You'll hear how the palace women watched processions from latticed balconies above the street without ever being seen, and how even funeral rites kept kings and queens to separate doors. It closes by turning down a side lane where bangle-makers have worked the same trade for nearly three hundred years.
