Description
Jaipur is known as India’s pink city (to read about India’s blue city Jodhpur, click here). All the buildings in the city are a hue of pink and have been that way since the 1870s, when the Maharaja was trying to impress the English King on his visit to India.
The color pink was chosen as it represents hospitality, and there is even a decree that every building must be pink (for us, a lot of the buildings seemed to be an orange color, but you get the point 😉 ).
At that time in history, India had been colonized by the British, so it was a big deal when Victoria and Albert came to visit. It was easy to enforce such a decree during the reign of Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh, who was the most powerful ruler in Rajasthan. But it’s interesting to note that this regulation is still in place today and it’s become such a significant part of the cultural heritage of Jaipur, despite the fact that the provinces have long gained independence.
