The Pink City — Royal heritage of Rajasthan
Jaipur, the vibrant capital of Rajasthan, was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. Famously known as the Pink City, its rose‑colored buildings were painted in 1876 to welcome the Prince of Wales.
Planned according to Vastu Shastra, Jaipur is one of India's earliest grid‑based cities. Its majestic forts, bustling bazaars, and royal palaces earned it UNESCO World Heritage
Jaipur is celebrated for block printing, blue pottery, gemstone cutting, and glowing meenakari jewelry. The vibrant Johari Bazaar is a treasure trove.
