JAIPUR

Jaipur, a bustling modern metropolis, is one of the three points of the Golden Triangle, which comprises Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. It was established in 1727 by Kachhwaha Rajput ruler Jai Singh II, who named it after himself. Jaipur is beieved to be India’s first planned city in the Common Era and was developed by Vidyadhar Bhattacharya. Built according to the principles of Vastu Shastra, which divides the city into nine blocks - two for state buildings and palaces and seven for public blocks. The city's fortification walls and gates ensure its security.

As the capital city of Rajasthan, it is known worldwide for its beautiful gems and blends the charm of its ancient heritage with all the benefits of a metropolis.In 1876, to welcome the Prince of Wales, Maharaja Ram Singh of Jaipur had the entire city painted pink, as the colour symbolised hospitality. Today, all buildings in Jaipur are still required to be painted pink. Thus, earning its moniker 'Pink City'.
