Everyone always at the Zanani Deori. No man is allowed in the female quarters except the high priest and the attendants of the queens . This vast compound is just a facade to a even more complex maze of courtyards and private compounds of queens. #Heritage #Historic #Architecture #Structures #Beaut #Beautiful #Compound #RajputArchitecture #Teej #Festival #FestivalsOfIndia #JaipurTeej #WalledCityOfJaipur #Jaipur #JaipurDiaries #JaipurJournal #Rajasthan #India #Wanderer #Wanderlust #Travel #Travelogue #TravelDiaries

Palanquin Bearers Lightly, O lightly we bear her along, She sways like a flower in the wind of our song; She skims like a bird on the foam of a stream, She floats like a laugh from the lips of a dream. Gaily, O gaily we glide and we sing, We bear her along like a pearl on a string. Softly, O softly we bear her along, She hangs like a star in the dew of our song; She springs like a beam on the brow of the tide, She falls like a tear from the eyes of a bride. Lightly, O lightly we glide and we sing, We bear her along like a pearl on a string. by Sarojini Naidu #Teej #Palanquin #PalanquinBearers #Heritage #Historic #Honour #Gods #GodsOfIndia #Poems #Nostalgia #School #SarojiniNaidu #Beaut #Beautiful #Festivals #FestivalsOfIndia #JaipurTeej #WalledCityOfJaipur #Jaipur #JaipurDiaries #JaipurJournal #Rajasthan #India #Wanderer #Wanderlust #Travel #Travelogue #TravelDiaries (at City Palace, Jaipur)

The Palanquin This was the first time, I saw Teej like this, I got to see the whole behind the scene activities. This incredible पालकी (Palanquin) made with wood and silver awaits to be taken to the ज़नानी डेओडी (Zanani Deori, female quarters) where, the idol of Teej Mata is placed in the palanquin and taken for a सवारी (parade for public viewing) #Heritage #Palanquin #Historic #RoyalHouseOfJaipur #JaipurTeej #Teej #Festivals #Festivities #FestivalsOfIndia #Silver #Beaut #Beautiful #Royal #Royalty #TreasuresOfTheWalledCity #WalledCityOfJaipur#Jaipur #JaipurDiaries #JaipurJournal #Rajasthan #India #Wanderer #Wanderlust #Travel #Travelogue #TravelDiaries
