About Jaipur

Jaipur, the "Pink City" and capital of Rajasthan, was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II — making it one of India's first planned cities. The entire old city was painted terracotta pink in 1876 to welcome Prince Albert, and this tradition continues today by law. The city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Jaipur's iconic landmarks include the Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) with its 953 windows, the Amber Fort with its Sheesh Mahal (Hall of Mirrors), the Jantar Mantar astronomical observatory, and the City Palace. The city is a major center for gemstone cutting and polishing, processing approximately 90% of the world's gemstone trade.
