Jaipur, popularly known as the "Pink City," is a vibrant and historically rich city located in the northwestern Indian state of Rajasthan. Founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, Jaipur is renowned for its well-planned architecture, which is a perfect blend of ancient Indian, Mughal, and Western influences. The city earned its nickname due to the predominant use of terracotta pink color on the buildings within the walled historic center.
