1.The Origin of the Pink City: Jaipur earned its moniker
"Pink City" during the reign of Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh II in the
late 19th century. To welcome the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII), the
entire city was painted in a mesmerizing shade of terracotta pink, symbolizing
hospitality and a warm welcome. Since then, this color has been retained,
making Jaipur one of the most picturesque cities in India.
2.Majestic Forts and Palaces: The city is adorned with
awe-inspiring forts and palaces that stand as a testament to its royal past.
The Amber Fort, perched atop a hill, offers breathtaking views of the
surrounding landscape and features intricate marble work and expansive
courtyards. The City Palace, a magnificent blend of Rajput and Mughal
architecture, is a treasure trove of artifacts and art from the royal era.
