Jaipur, the famed
pink city of Rajasthan was India's first "planned" city
built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. Built primarily of pink
sandstone, this city blushes like a new bride at every sunset. Its
palaces and Forts. Jharokhas and Jalis are typical of a style of
architecture, which is seen all over Rajasthan. Jaipur is a
"Royal City" and its grandeur is further heightened by the
processions/festivals that take place particularly during Teej,
Gangaur; Holi, etc.
The tourists who
visit this city fall in love with it, as it is exotic India at its
best. Jaipur
has its own pace with colourfully dressed village belles shopping
for the famed Jaipur Razais (quilts) whilst their camels stand
guard.
