Statue circle 


Statue circle is a traffic roundabout in Jaipur, the place of "circles" meaning traffic roundabouts. The Statue Circle is not only the most famed circle but the most swarmed situate too. Almost half the Jaipur passes by this circle. It is the favourite lung of Jaipur and a right place for evening out. Strangely it acquires its name of statue circle after its figurine, the statue stands in full imperial symbols of staff and Jai Singh the founder of modern Jaipur is made out to be holding out astrological diagrams to exemplify his proclivity for astrology. The memorial is be fitting to the great sovereign, builder and futurist. The lighting and the colourful fountains cheer up the circle and its surrounds.

Flanking to it is an auditorium, science museum and planetarium composite, also well known as a popular target for annual sales and showcase of the city. The Statue Circle has other purposes too. It is the setting for eyeing the town's dates.

The place has some commercial value and fresh air environs are used for sales briefings too. One can spot tie-clad salesmen planning their day's work in the morning. The circle is three-forth of a kilometre and the fitness freaks can work out their daily dose. The afternoons are taken over by the squatters protesting on grievances to the government. Of course the brightest spot are the eateries, it is there in its entire spread of Mumbai infiltrates like the bhels and paus, the American adoptions of the burgers, the British patties, hot and spicy and the universal ice creams and its local cousin kulfi. Balloon man punctuates the eating stalls and a tie clad salesman trying to attract you to a product that you never wanted. There is never a dull moment with shrieks of excited girls and heavily pulsating hearts behind the bushes make the Statue Circle the most happening setting of Jaipur
