Vidyadhar Garden is a beautiful garden that was
derived by the Rajputs of Jaipur from the Mughals' definition of Garden.
Vidhyadhar Ka Bagh was made in order to bring a sense of relief in the
scorched scenery of the desert land. The Garden is situated at a
distance of 8 km in the east of Jaipur, on Jaipur-Agra Road. Initially,
the place served as a vineyard to previous rulers then it was renovated
to its present form.
Vidhyadhar Gardens is the only well-planned garden in the Majestic city
of Jaipur, Rajasthan. Vidyadhar Garden was built in the memory of
Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, the chief architect and the city planner of
Jaipur. The Garden has been designed as per the rules and edicts of
Shilpa Shastra, the ancient Indian line of architecture, just as
Vidyadhar did while planning Jaipur.
The Garden in a desert area with many watercourses modifies the façade
of the cityscape. A single glimpse of this terraced garden with ample
greenery refreshes the inhabitants of the city. Vidyadhar ka Bagh is
beautifully laid in the valley between two rugged hills consequently
adding to the natural beauty of the countryside. Well-arranged
fountains, flowerbeds and shady trees enhance the beauty of the Garden.
Arranged in layers, the Garden comprises several galleries, pavilions
and splendid frescos depicting Lord Krishna, which is a pleasure to
behold. If you are here, you are standing at a perfect spot where you
can see peacocks and monkeys. Twilight is considered as the best time to
the Gardens, when the setting sun and the lights illumine its outline in
the backdrop of the adjoining hills. Vidyadhar Garden is a popular
tourist attraction that allures people from both far and near.
