"The Pink City"
About Jaipur
Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, is one of India's most vibrant and historically rich cities. Founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, it was one of the first planned cities in the world. Its old city walls, painted in a distinctive terracotta pink, earned it the nickname 'The Pink City.' Home to opulent palaces, grand forts, and bazaars filled with gems and textiles, Jaipur is the anchor of India's famous Golden Triangle tourist route.
