A Flair for Royal Celebration
Jaipur is the largest city in the state of Rajasthan, as well as the state’s capital. The city’s cultural prominence and charming character has resulted in it being one of the three destinations that make up India’s Golden Triangle.
Known as the Pink City, Jaipur earnt its colourful nickname as a result of its signature painted architecture. In 1876, the entire city was painted pink to celebrate a visit from the Prince of Wales – a great example of the flair for royal celebrations that is so deeply embedded in the fabric and sole of this flamboyant city.
Be sure to visit the city’s key attractions such as the Hawa Mahal, the Amber Fort, the Jal Mahal and the City Palace. These are great to incorporate into part of a tour or on a longer stay in Jaipur itself.
