Unveil the charm of Jaipur, the Pink City of India.

Located in the southwest of New Delhi, Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan in northern India. It is known for its unique pink buildings and is known as the "Pink City". 👇 The history of Jaipur can be traced back to 1727 (during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty). Its founder was Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the ruler of Rajasthan at that time. Jaipur is mainly rectangular and divided into six districts. The city is designed in a checkerboard pattern. In 1876, in order to welcome the visit of the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII of the United Kingdom), King Maharaja Ram Singh ordered the entire city's buildings to be painted pink, which is the origin of the "Pink City".

The building is in Islamic style. Hawa Mahal was built in 1799 by Sawai Pratap Singh. It was built for the prince's concubines to watch the outside world through these dense small windows. These small windows are in the shape of half an octagon and are hollowed out into a honeycomb shape, with a total of 953. In addition, these windows can also play a role in air circulation. Pic 5-11: Jaipur Palace is one of the best-preserved ancient sites in India. This palace was built after the city-state of Rajasthan surrendered to the Mughal Empire and was completed in 1728. The descendants of the royal family still live here. Its architectural style combines traditional Indian architecture and Islamic architecture, and the entire palace group is mainly made of white marble. 👉Pic 8: Relief in the palace 👉Pic 9: Portrait of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the founder of Jaipur 👉Pic 10: Decorative pattern on the palace gate 👉Pic 11: Ceiling pattern
