Malviya Nagar is a large, busy neighbourhood in south Jaipur, home to many families, students and young professionals. It is close to MNIT and several other colleges, as well as the city’s biggest shopping complexes, such as World Trade Park and Gaurav Tower. For Myra members, Malviya Nagar offers a lively, practical setting for first dates, with cafés, food courts and dessert shops on every main road. Introductions here often include people from Jagatpura, Durgapura, Bajaj Nagar, Tonk Road and Mansarovar. The neighbourhood is especially busy in the evenings and at weekends, when people come from across the city to shop and eat. If you prefer a calmer meeting, a weekday afternoon in one of the smaller cafés is a good alternative. Evenings in the cooler months are the best time to explore, when the outdoor seating at food courts and dessert places fills up. The area is named after Madan Mohan Malviya, founder of Banaras Hindu University, and its sectors were laid out by the Jaipur Development Authority. The Birla Mandir, a white marble temple on a small hill nearby, is especially beautiful at sunset and lit up in the evening.
