Jaipur

Overview

Jaipur, the capital city of Rajasthan in India, is well-known for its historical landmarks and architectural wonders. Founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, it is often called the Pink City due to its distinct pink-colored buildings. The city is designed according to Vastu Shastra, an ancient Indian architectural principle, which gives it a unique layout. Visitors can explore the grand Amer Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the City Palace, which reflects a blend of Rajput and Mughal architecture. The Hawa Mahal, or Palace of Winds, with its intricate façade, is another must-see attraction.

Besides its architectural marvels, Jaipur offers a variety of cultural experiences. The local bazaars are famous for handicrafts, jewelry, and textiles, attracting tourists and locals alike. Jaipur is also known for its traditional Rajasthani cuisine, offering dishes such as dal baati churma and ghevar.
