Everything you need to know
The Jaipur, the vibrant capital of Rajasthan, is a mesmerizing blend of royal heritage and modern charm. Founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the city gets its iconic name from the terracotta-pink hue of its old city buildings. From the majestic Amber Fort perched on a hilltop to the intricate lattice windows of Hawa Mahal, every corner of Jaipur tells a story of Rajput grandeur. The city is also a shopper's paradise, famous for block-printed textiles, precious gemstones, blue pottery, and traditional Rajasthani jewelry.
