The Pink City- Jaipur, Rajasthan

Rajasthan, India is the land of Colours, Favours, Palaces and Royals.

Last month got a chance to visit Jaipur, the capital city of Rajasthan and got a chance to learn a lot about the Traditional Rajasthani Culture and the Varieties of food.

This picture is taken inside the palace and it is the view of corridors. All the details on the wall is done with hand and with a varieties of materials. This made this picture look perfect and more colourful.

Hi @Nyainurjanah Thank you for your positive feedback.

It is said that in 1876 Prince of Wales and Queen Victoria came visited India on a tour. Since, Pink represents the colour of hospitality, So Maharaja Ram Singh of Jaipur painted all city pink in colour to welcome the guests. It was the Lord Albert who exclaimed ‘Pink City’. Hence Jaipur got it’s name.

Thank you @MoniDi . Yes i have captured this on my iPhone 6s with Vivid Filter.

Jaipur offers a wide variety of traditional rajasthani foods. The best that everyone should try includes Dal Baati Churma, Laal Maas, Ghevar and Kulhad Lassi. These foods can be found easily everywhere in the market, one thing one should do is to do a bit of research.
