Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, is one of India’s most iconic cities, known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning architecture. It is often referred to as the Pink City because of the distinct pink-colored buildings in its historic center, a tradition that dates back to 1876 when the city was painted pink to welcome the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII).
Founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, Jaipur is India's first planned city, designed by the architect Vidyadhar Bhattacharya using principles of Vastu Shastra and Shilpa Shastra. The city is known for its wide streets, well-organized markets, and a grid-like structure, making it one of the best-planned cities of its time.
