Jaipur is the famous city and capital of Rajasthan. It was
founded on 18 November 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the ruler of Amber,
after whom the city has been named. Jaipur is known as the Pink City of India
because of the colour used exclusively in the walled city.
The city was built on the principles of Shilpa
Shastra, the science of Indian Architecture. The city was divided into nine
blocks. Two of which contained the state buildings and palaces, while the
remaining seven were allotted to the public. Huge fortification walls were
built, along with seven strong gates. The directions of each street and market
are east to West and North to South. The Eastern gate is called Suraj (Sun)
Pol, while the Western gate is called Chand (Moon) Pol. There are three gates
facing East, West, and a Northern gate (known as Zorawar Singh gate) which
faces toward the ancestral capital of Amber.
The capital of Rajasthan, Jaipur is rich in
history and culture. Here the past comes alive in magnificent forts and
palaces. The bustling bazaars of Jaipur, famous for jewellery, fabric and
shoes, possess a timeless quality and are surely a treasure-trove for the
shoppers. This fascinating city with its romantic charm takes you to an epoch
of royalty and tradition.
