C-Scheme is one of Jaipur’s oldest planned neighbourhoods outside the walled city, known for its wide roads, bungalows, offices and some of the city’s best-known cafés and restaurants. It sits right in the centre, between the old city and the newer southern suburbs, which makes it a practical meeting point for people coming from different directions. For Myra members, C-Scheme offers a relaxed, upscale setting for first dates, with plenty of quiet places to talk. Introductions here often include people from Bani Park, Ashok Nagar, Lalkothi, Tilak Nagar and Raja Park. Central Park, one of the largest parks in the city, is a short walk away and is perfect for an evening stroll. The area’s cafés range from heritage bungalows to modern coffee shops, so you can choose a setting that suits the mood. Many members appreciate that C-Scheme is calmer than the old city bazaars, while still being close enough to visit them on a later date. Winter evenings here are especially lovely, with cool air and lit-up gardens. The area was planned in the 1940s as Jaipur grew beyond its walls, and its name simply refers to a lettered housing scheme of the time. Today it holds some of the city’s most interesting buildings, including the art deco Raj Mandir cinema nearby, a much-loved hall where watching a Hindi film is an event in itself. Ashok Marg and Sardar Patel Marg are lined with old bungalows, some converted into boutique hotels and galleries.
