About Patrika Gate
A gateway of painted arches at the entrance to Jawahar Circle garden, finished in 2016, each bay decorated with scenes and colours from a different region of Rajasthan. It is new and unashamedly built for photographs, and it works: dawn brings a queue of couples and photographers. Next to the airport, so an easy last or first stop.
What to see and do
- Painted bays for each region of Rajasthan
- Dawn photographs before the crowds
- Jawahar Circle garden and musical fountain
- Next to the airport road
Part of Aravalli.
