Jaipur-The Pink City

Jaipur is a city located southwest of Delhi. The city gets its nickname because of the color of stone that was used for many of the buildings within the city.  It is part of the Golden Triangle of India, along with Agra and Delhi. Jaipur is the capital of the Indian state of Rajasthan and was one of the first planned cities in India. Because of this, the streets of the city are laid out in a grid pattern as opposed to the chaotic street plans of other Indian cities.

some buildings appeared more orange, but there was a rule that the signs on the buildings could only be white with black text


this is the Hawa Mahal, the most elaborate building in the Pink City and is the landmark of Jaipur
