Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya of Thailand arrived in Jaipur on Friday, marking the start of her four-day visit to Rajasthan, which will continue until February 10. The royal itinerary includes visits to Jaipur and Jodhpur, offering the princess an immersive experience of the region’s rich heritage and culture.
Upon arrival at Jaipur International Airport via a special flight, Princess Sirivannavari was welcomed under strict security measures coordinated by the police and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). Following diplomatic protocols, photography and videography by the public were restricted. She then traveled in an official convoy to Rambagh Palace, where she will be accommodated during her stay in Jaipur.
The princess is set to experience Rajasthan’s renowned “Atithi Devo Bhava” hospitality, visiting key landmarks such as Amer Fort, Hawa Mahal, City Palace, and Tripolia Bazaar. These visits aim to provide her with insight into the state’s traditional arts, handicrafts, and cultural heritage. Luxury convoys were seen traversing Jaipur streets as part of the official arrangements.
After her Jaipur tour, Princess Sirivannavari will proceed to Jodhpur, where her itinerary includes Mehrangarh Fort, Umaid Bhawan Palace, and Jaswant Thada. She will be briefed on the historical and architectural significance of these sites, further highlighting Rajasthan’s cultural legacy.
Officials emphasized that the visit aims to deepen cultural and bilateral relations between India and Thailand. Ahead of the visit, State Chief Secretary V. Srinivas held high-level review meetings, coordinating with the Royal Thai Embassy to ensure smooth protocol, security, and traffic management in both cities.
Beyond her royal duties, Princess Sirivannavari is internationally recognized as a fashion designer, leading her own luxury brand with a global following. She also serves as a Major in the Royal Thai Army, is an accomplished equestrian, and has a strong interest in sports, arts, and culture. Her visit to Rajasthan thus represents a blend of cultural diplomacy, heritage appreciation, and international engagement.
