JAIPUR: Jaipur celebrates Diwali with enthusiasm and devotion. It reflects in the variety of beautiful lighting the city’s markets are decorated with.

All the entry gates including Sanganeri Gate, New Gate and Ajmeri Gate have been decorated with colourful high mask lights.

Many people are heading to Nahargarh to get a birds-eye view of the city lighting.

The traders are enthusiastic about the response from shoppers this year. “The last 2-3 years have been really difficult due to the Covid-19 period, but the shoppers and people are visiting the Walled City markets in large numbers this year. It is a great thing that the markets are abuzz with people,” said Ramesh Saini, a trader in Bapu Bazaar.
