PINK CITY, HAWA MAHAL(PALACE OF WIND), MAHA RANI MARKET & 110 YEARS OLD CAR OF QUEEN GAYATRI DEVI

WHY IS JAIPUR KNOWN AS THE PINK CITY?
On almost every street in Jaipur, you’ll find buildings painted a gorgeous shade of dusty pink. In 1876, Queen Victoria’s son, Albert Edward, Prince of Wales (who would later become King Edward VII) visited India. At the time, pink was the symbolic colour of hospitality. As the people of Jaipur are known for their incredible hospitality, Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh had the whole city painted pink to welcome the royals. It’s said that Prince Albert nicknamed Jaipur the ‘Pink City’ and the name stuck.
