The city of Jaipur got its name ‘Pink City’, when Maharaja Savai Madho Singh II painted the whole city in shades of pink, to welcome Prince of Wales, Lord Albert Edward, in 1876. Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan. Jaipur, Delhi and Agra, forms India’s ‘Golden Triangle’, a much sought after tourist circuit. The other popular tourist destinations in the state can be easily accessed from Jaipur, making it a gateway. Apart from the palaces, forts, hills and lakes, what makes Jaipur truly quirky are the elephant rides and puppet shows – both, a very colourful experience. Taste the traditional cuisines to complete your experience of this city that upholds its culture in every nook and corner.
