Jaipur is a location in India that was visited by Swamiji i.e., Swami Satyananda Saraswati as part of his spiritual mission. It is mentioned in a list of various places forming part of the itinerary of Swamiji’s extensive all-India tour conducted over four months, commencing in January 1970. This tour, undertaken with his disciples, involved holding Yoga programs in numerous cities and towns across the country. Thus, Jaipur represents one of the regions where the seeds of the Bihar School of Yoga were intentionally spread to the local populace through direct teachings and instructions to the local people .
