Preparing for a celebration inside the Jaipur City Palace

The Jaipur City Palace is a very popular tourist location in the state of Rajasthan, India. A large number of people come here on a regular basis, and it is one of the tourist spots in Jaipur to visit. In this particular case, the staff of the resort are preparing for a celebration to be held there later in the evening, and it involves stringing bright red banners as part of the decorations.

Pigeons sitting on the various bars of the Jaipur City Palace

Their shit cause a lot of cleanliness problem, they attract larger predators, and their droppings are acidic in nature.
