Sparkling, Glittering, Exciting Fireworks Shows

Wanna know where to watch the breathtaking massive fireworks displays? Here are some of our favorite spots in the city.

1. Nahargarh Fort

Time for some eye candy first—there’s no better visual treat than to watch fireworks shows from the Nahargarh Fort. From the top of the fort, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city. On Diwali, this view gets a thousand times better. Imagine the beautiful colors of yellow, pink, red, blue, white, and green—all cover the night sky, one after the other, making it a magnificent sight.

Tip: Right after sunset, the fireworks show will begin. But don’t forget to check Diwali pooja timings (people are usually inside their homes during that period).

Jaipur in Diwali, especially with all the fireworks shows, becomes more beautiful than ever. This is why another one of the best sites to watch the sparkling fireworks is Amer Fort, mainly due to its elevation. And did we say there’s no better place than Nahargarh? Well, we stand corrected—Amer Fort is as beautiful as Nahargarh when it comes to watching the glittery sky.

Tip: Don’t forget to admire the beauty of the astonishing Amer Fort first—it is beautifully lit during Diwali.
