Founded by Maharaja Jai Singh II on November 18, 1727, Jaipur was established as the capital to replace Amer. Renowned for being India’s first planned city, it was meticulously designed according to vastushastra, with architect Vidyadhar Bhattacharya from Bengal playing a pivotal role. The construction of Jaipur, known for its pink hues, commenced in 1727 and took four years to complete major roads, offices, and adjacent palaces. The city was divided into nine blocks, with two allocated for state buildings and palaces, and the remaining seven designated for residents. Surrounding the city are expansive ramparts accessible through seven well-fortified gates.
Jaipur’s allure lies in its rich heritage and culture, attracting visitors from across the globe.
