Oh it's not just Jaipur that's beautiful. So many other cities in this Indian state of Rajasthan are - Udaipur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer. It's my favourite tourist destination in India, especially in winter. Summers are a bit too hot for me. Full of forts, palaces and other princely residences, many of them converted into hotels. In fact, flying into India from Europe, I always met people who were into their second-third trip just to Rajasthan. And not to forget tiger parks like Ranthambore and bird sanctuaries.

" Jaipur is a crowded metropolis which is extremely polluted and dusty but I want to focus on the beauty of this city, "

While there though it is impossible to ignore the dust, dirt and poverty.

Bit of a dreamy long winded write up there.
 

I like Jaipur but if architecture is an interest give Mandawa 170kms north a look. Absolutely stunning and some of the Havelis are used as hotels ad very affordable.

I have been staying in Jaipur for several months in the last year or so working on a project in more than 40 towns, of which I have visited 20 or so, as well as many of the bigger cities. For a tourist Rajasthan has a lot to offer and Mandawa is a popular place for those who know it.

 

Pollution is 'nearly' everywhere in urban areas in

India, but it should not deter people. I say that having worked in Bengaluru, Delhi, West Bengal and other places in recent years. 'Uncontrolled' development in some areas is partly the reason as can be seen in peripheral areas of Bengaluru. 

 

For those who have time and want to visit Rajasthan my advice is take time, have a guide part of the time, if at all and when it is hot don't try to do too much. Locals don't.

Just checking out of Chobdar Haveli, Mandawa and superb room and breakfast for not much more than 1,000baht. Town is looking a bit more jaded than I recall but good to see more havelis have been converted to hotels thereby given them a chance to survive. Numerous other in town are in a sad state but town is worth a look still if havelis are an interest. 
 

If anyone is coming this way from Jaipur stop off at Nawalgarh and visit the haveli that is now a museum. Decent for 100 rupee entrance fee.
