Jaipur is the capital and largest city of the Indian state of Rajasthan in Northern India. It was founded on 18 November 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the ruler of Amber, after whom the city is named. The city today has a population of 3.1 million. Jaipur is known as the Pink City of India. You can see why ... the color of the walls in the above picture, for example. Many houses, public buildings and walls are painted soft shades of pink, just like this wall. It is done by mixing a pink pigment while whitewashing the walls.
