Jaipur Sightseeing

Jaipur Sightseeing Taxi Tour

Planned by Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, Jaipur has got the distinction of being the first planned urban center of India. Renowned globally for its colored gems, the capital city of Rajasthan combines the allure of its ancient history with all the advantages of a city. The bustling modern city is one of the three recessions of the golden triangle that includes Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur.

The report goes that in 1876, the Prince of Wales visited India on a turn. Since the color pink was symbolic of hospitality, Maharaja Ram Singh of Jaipur painted the entire city pink. The pink that colors the city prepares for a marvelous spectacle to behold. Jaipur rises up majestically against the background of the forts Nahargarh, Jaigarh and Garh Ganesh Temple.

Jaipur traces back its origins to 1727 when it was built by Jai Singh II, the Raja of Amber. He transferred his capital from Amber to the new city because of the rapidly-growing population and increasing water scarcity. Noted architect Vidyadhar Bhattacharya used the conventional principles of Vastu Shastra to build the urban center.
