Learn about the history, culture, and significance of the Pink City of India.
Founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, Jaipur was India's first planned city. The city was painted pink in 1876 to welcome the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII), as pink was the color of hospitality. The tradition has been maintained ever since, giving Jaipur its distinctive appearance and famous nickname.
Jaipur is part of the Golden Triangle tourist circuit along with Delhi and Agra. The city was planned according to Vastu Shastra (Indian architectural science) by Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, a Bengali architect.
In 2019, Jaipur was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognizing its outstanding universal value and unique urban planning that blends Eastern and Western design principles.
