Jaipur AKA Pink City is the capital of Rajasthan. It is well acclaimed for its rich culture and tradition. It was founded on 18 November 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the Amber Fort ruler. Touted as the first planned city of India, Jaipur is among one of the most visited tourist destinations in India. With its spectacular hilltops, beautiful landscape, long-standing forts and palaces, it attracts thousands of tourists every year. The beautiful city has always been praised for its magnificent artifacts, exquisite jewelry and cordial hospitality.
Cradled on the top of the Aravali Hills, lies the Amer Fort, one of the most magnificent palaces in India. Declared as a UNESCO World Heritage site, and also commonly known as the Amber Fort, this majestic building with its maze-like passages and serpentine staircases is an architectural masterpiece and with significant importance in Indian history. Built by one of the most trusted generals of Akbar, Maharaja Man Singh I in the year 1592, Amer Fort served as the main residence of the Rajput Rulers.
Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur constructed five astronomical observatories known as Jantar Mantars. These structures with their amazing combinations of geometric forms have captivated artists, historians and architects at large scale. The largest out of the five Jantar Mantars is in Jaipur.
