Jaipur, the largest city in the state of Rajasthan, is a magnificent destination known for its master jewelers, historical sites, and luxurious architecture. This city, built in the 18th century by the astronomer Maharaja Jai Singh II, holds the distinction of being the first city in India constructed according to a single master plan. Today, Jaipur is a key component of India's "golden triangle," along with Delhi and Agra. Visitors to Jaipur will find a wealth of attractions to explore, from picturesque parks and Hindu shrines to impressive forts and palaces, museums, and vibrant cafes and restaurants. The city is also a shopper's paradise, especially for those interested in captivating jewelry. Despite its rapid modernization and a population of several million people, Jaipur manages to retain its traditional charm and iconic pink-terracotta buildings. This distinctive appearance has earned it the nickname "the Pink City." The city adopted this pink hue as a symbol of hospitality in 1876, ahead of the official visit of the Prince of Wales. Since 1956, Jaipur has served as the capital of the state of Rajasthan.
