Jaipur is noted for its craftsmen, skilled in brass inlay, lacquer work and stone setting.  In the evening we enjoy dinner at Peshawari restaurant in ITC Rajputana, taste the authentic flavour of the North- West frontier in barbecued specialties and baked Indian breads prepared at the restaurant’s display kitchen.
