Jaipur

Jaipur

Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, is one of India's best-known heritage cities. Its historic centre is recognised by rows of pink-painted buildings, busy bazaars, gateways, palaces and monuments associated with the former rulers of the city.

The city is home to landmarks such as palaces, hill forts, astronomical structures, temples and royal residences. Yet Jaipur is not merely a collection of famous monuments. Its streets, markets, façades and older neighbourhoods are equally important to the character of the city.

Explore Jaipur through photographs, historical details and observations from the places covered in Indian Columbus.
