Jaipur is famed for its brilliant layout and planning of the city. The entire city is built in accordance with the traditional Vastu ideology and the city itself presents a symmetrical appearance. Every nook and corner of Jaipur shows structural excellence, the credit of which went to its progressive rulers.
The Pink City is placed within the boundaries of a hefty wall and every bazaars and streets are facing either east to west or north to south. There are only three entry gates in the wall, which are placed at eastern, western, and northern directions. Chand Pol or the Moon gate is the entry gate located in the western portion of the wall. The gates used to be blocked at dusk and open at dawn. Chand Pol poses as a majestic entry point that leads one to the elephant station and also to a cluster of ancient shrines and palaces.
