Category: Jaipur, Rajasthan

Jaipur is the Pink City — Rajasthan’s vibrant, layered capital where the Amber Fort and City Palace stand above a bazaar of block-printed textiles, blue pottery, gemstones, and the living craft traditions of a city founded in 1727 along the concept of thirty-six dedicated craft workshops. The Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantar, Nahargarh Fort, and the old walled city together make Jaipur one of India’s most visited destinations. But the Jaipur that stays with you is the one found in the lanes of Gopalbari and the old city — in the artists, the Pichwai painters, the jewellers, and the families who have always made this place as much about making beautiful things as about looking at them.
