Jaipur,
popularly known as the Pink City, was founded in
1727 AD by one of the greatest rulers of the
Kachhawaha clan, the astronomer king Sawai Jai
Singh. The pink color was used at the time of
making to create an impression of red sandstone
buildings of Mughal cities - and repainted in
1876, during the visit of the Prince of Wales.
The city is best explored on foot and the
adventurous visitor willing to go into the inner
lanes can discover a whole new world not visible
to the tourist-in-a-hurry.
This
fascinating city with its romantic charm takes
you to an epoch of royalty and tradition. The
imperial city, replete with amazing legends of
romance and heroism. This is the fortified city
of Jodhpur, standing a wary sentinel to the
great Thar Desert. Beckoning you to the
wilderness of fascinating dunes, rocky terrain
and thorny vegetation
The
city was designed by Vidyasagar Chkravarty, a
young Bengali architect, who succeeded in making
a marvellous synthesis of many influences-
Hindu, Jain, Mughal (with Persian overtones),
beside his own idea from eastern India
