    Jaipur, also known as the "Pink City", is the capital and largest city of the Indian state of Rajasthan. The colour pink was selected for Jaipur because it represents hospitality and evokes a feeling of warmth and welcome. Ever since the late 19th century, the city has earned its spectacular rosy hue on all of its buildings, palaces and markets, giving Jaipur a truly unique look.

    Fun fact: Since 1877, a law has required that all buildings in the old city be painted pink.

    Besides the beautiful architecture and gorgeous views, visitors from around the world are drawn to Jaipur's royal palaces and forts. This charming city hosts a number of interesting tourist attractions such as Amber Fort, Jantar Mantar, Hawa Mahal and Nahargarh Fort.

    Moreover, Jaipur is famous for its lively markets, such as Johari Bazaar or Bapu Bazaar. Today Jaipur is the largest hub for the Indian jewellery industry of flatware, earrings and bangles. The assortment of exquisite textiles and precious gems will undoubtedly captivate any ardent shopper who pays a visit.
