Sargasuli

I took this beautiful picture of sargasuli on the World Heritage Day

About Sargasuli :-
   Sargasuli or Isar Lat is known as 'Tower to heaven'. It was built in 1749 by King Ishwari Singh after his victory over Madhosingh, so its a symbol of great historical importance as its a symbol of Jaipur's victory. This sky-high building provides visitors with the breath taking 360 degrees panoramic view of the entire 'Pink City' from its roof.

Its an architectural delight, After entering the minaret from its small door one can see a round gallery spiraling upwards towards the mouth of the minaret. Every floor of Isar Lat has a door that opens up towards a balcony inside the minaret. For the reason that its able to transcend earthly beauty it has also been given the title 'Sargasuli'.
