The heritage sites in Jaipur are so beautiful that these are the first choice for shooting location for Films and TV shows. Also the government is making it easier for film makers to shoot at the exotic locations in Jaipur. Since the introduction of single window by the tourism department, it takes only 15 days to get the permission for shooting at Jaipur heritage sites. This has only led to an increase in the demand for these locations. The demand further increases if the film or TV show is based on some historic story.
