Jaipur asks for loose and light rather than little. Covered arms and legs in light cotton are cooler in real sun than shorts, and they solve the temple dress code at the same time.
What Jaipur specifically adds to the general list below: the forts and monuments mean long stretches on uneven stone in open sun — proper shoes and a hat matter more than a nice outfit and a bag you can close, for the markets.
The lists below change by season because the answer genuinely does — winter is the comfortable window here, and packing for it looks little like packing for the opposite end of the year.
