Diwali in Jaipur

One of the most awaited and the biggest festivals of the year is here with a bang! Diwali is the happy occasion of decorating homes with diyas, bursting crackers, having family get-togethers and feasting on scrumptious delicacies. If staying home isn’t your thing then plan a trip to Jaipur and get into true Diwali spirit.

Much of the splendor of Diwali comes from the warm radiance of earthen lamps and lights that ornament homes, streets and shops. And the Pink City, where the festival is celebrated in a grand way, is one of the best places to experience it. Not just households or buildings are adorned with lights, but all markets are decked up. The illuminated markets flood with fine-looking handicrafts and traditional clothes and jootis. Every year, there’s a competition for the most brilliantly lit up and the best-decorated market, and the government foots the electricity bill.  A mesmerizing show of constant stream of fireworks all around in the city attracts visitors from all over the country.

For the best experience, make sure you stay in the heart of the city. At a short distance from the central railway station and bus stand, Devraj Niwas is a splendid boutique hotel. The hotel offers spacious, spotlessly clean rooms at an affordable price. The highlight of the property is the huge green cover which makes it a peaceful oasis in the middle of the bustling city.

Say Cheers to Red Wine and Good Health

Red Wine

Do you enjoy drinking Red Wine? Chill, it’s okay to admit. Most of us enjoy that amazingly good red drink. You will be happy to learn, if red wine is consumed in a moderate amount that means about a glass a day — has some awesome perks. Here, we bring to you awesome reasons to say cheers to Red wine and good health. Take a brief pause and know how a glass of wine a day keeps the doctor away.

Healthy Glowing Skin
Red wine and beauty, really? Yes, Wine is great for a healthy glowing skin. It contains antioxidants that protects the skin and prevents it from ageing.

Protects from Disease
Another benefit of this magical red wine is that-it reduces chances of having a stroke, heart attack, bowel, diabetes, aero-digestive cancer as well as other diseases too; it is also good for the brain and increases longevity. In short, it is no less than an elixir of life.

Gives Good Sleep
Not just this! Red wine can give you a peaceful sleep too due to the presence of a substance called melatonin that stimulates body clock. So consume a moderate amount of red wine – 50 to 100 ml before bedtime for a happy and peaceful sleep.

Controls Weight
Wine (seriously, wine!) can help keep your weight in check. It raises the body temperature (one reason some people get red cheeks when drinking), thus boosting calorie-burning and controlling weight.

Prevents Tooth Decay
But that’s not all, red wine also prevents gum disease, and even helps to treat it by reducing inflammation in the gums.

Over-consumption of any alcoholic drink is linked to health risks, and this holds true for red wine too. But having a glass of red wine along with a healthy diet and exercise can be a marker for a healthier lifestyle. 🙂 So limit your red wine consumption to no more than 24 ounces per day and enjoy healthy life.

When you have come to know the benefits of drinking red wine, drop in at our restaurant, ‘Forresta Kitchen & Bar’. Spend a relaxed evening with plenty of your buddies while enjoying a wide range of drinks and hearty meal in its great alfresco ambiance.
