'''Jawahar Circle''' is a garden in [[Jaipur]] city in the Indian state of [[Rajasthan]], built by the [[Jaipur Development Authority]].<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
Jawahar Circle is claimed to be the biggest circular park in Asia developed on a highway traffic circle. It is situated along Malviya Nagar near [[Jaipur International Airport|Sanganer Airport]] on Jawaharlal Nehru Marg. <br />
<br />
Although Swaraj Road, [[Thrissur, Kerala]] also claims to be the largest circle in Asia, the largest traffic circle or roundabout in the world with a diameter of more than {{cvt|3.5|km}} is actually in [[Putrajaya, Malaysia]].<br />
<br />
The diameter of the circle is {{cvt|452|m}} and the circumference measures {{cvt|1420|m}}. This park was fully developed by JDA ([[Jaipur Development Authority]]), and is one of Jaipur's popular leisure destinations. There are multiple concentric tracks in the park. It is surrounded by Rose Gardens.<br />
<br />
JDA has spent 170 lacs for the further development of this circle, planning to include a number of new features, such as musical fountains, walkways, parking spaces, landscaping, modern play equipment, and jogging tracks.<ref name="jda">{{Cite web |url=http://www.jaipurjda.org/page.aspx?pid=83 |title=Jawahar Circle - JDA |access-date=11 February 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726201054/http://www.jaipurjda.org/page.aspx?pid=83 |archive-date=26 July 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref><br />
<br />
The Fountain has been installed in a water-body in the center of the park. Every evening at 7 pm a show is held for 30 minutes, when the water sprays with the rhythm of the music and is illuminated by colored lights. Taking a hint from the Si-Fi world, they now show music videos on a wall of spray.<br />
<br />
The radius of the water body is {{cvt|47|m}}. There are 290 effects. The height of the fountain is {{cvt|25|m}}. The water screen size is {{cvt|27|m}} wide by {{cvt|9|m}} high. There are 316 colored lights. The video projector is 15,000 lumens.<br />
<br />
Rajasthan is a desert state, and to maintain such big gardens and fountains with drinking water would be foolhardy, so the government is using re-cycled water. Though safe for the garden, the fountain is definitely not safe for drinking or for bathing with.<br />
