Things to Do in Jaipur This Week

The events below are the best things to do in Jaipur this week, refreshed daily from listings across the city: concerts and comedy, theatre, exhibitions, festivals, heritage walks, workshops and family days out. If you plan by interest, start with the JLN Marg corridor, where Jawahar Kala Kendra programmes free plays, music and art shows most evenings and the Rajasthan International Centre and Maharana Pratap Auditorium take touring productions. Stand-up runs every weekend at Jaipur Comedy Club behind World Trade Park, with extra shows in bars in Bani Park and off MI Road. Big concerts and trade fairs go to JECC in Sitapura, and cricket to Sawai Mansingh Stadium. For daytime plans, the walled city packs City Palace, Jantar Mantar, Hawa Mahal and the bazaars into one walkable grid, Amber and Jaigarh forts fill a morning, and Nahargarh is the place for sunset. The calendar peaks from October to March, with Diwali, the Jaipur Literature Festival and the Kite Festival in January, and Holi and Gangaur in spring. Summer is very hot, so events move indoors and into the evening. Old-city markets generally close on Sundays, so plan shopping for another day.
