What you gain in August
- ↑Teej Festival (typically mid-to-late August, exact date lunar-determined) is one of Jaipur's great local celebrations, not marketed heavily to tourists but open to visitors. Women dress in green saris, sing traditional songs, swing on decorated swings hung from trees, and process through the old city in a celebration of the monsoon rains and the goddess Teej. The procession from the City Palace through the walled city is one of the most atmospheric events in Jaipur's calendar.
- ↑Janmashtami (Krishna's birthday, August/September by lunar calendar) brings all-night temple celebrations across Rajasthan. The Govind Deo Ji Temple inside City Palace — the principal Krishna temple of Jaipur's royal family — holds its most significant celebrations on Janmashtami and is genuinely moving to witness.
What you sacrifice
- ↓August rainfall averages 175mm, delivered in tropical downpours of high intensity. The Nahargarh and Jaigarh Fort roads become dangerous in heavy rain; the marble floors of Amber Fort's open courtyards become dangerously slippery; and some sections of the walled city experience flooding around lower-lying bazaars.
- ↓Humidity at 74% in August is the highest of the year. Combined with 32°C temperatures, this creates a heat index that feels significantly hotter than the actual temperature. The dry Rajasthani heat of November and December feels like a different climate entirely.
