Why is Jaipur Pink?

The Pink City of Jaipur is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and part of the Golden Triangle that includes Delhi and Agra.

Jaipur is described by Lonely Planet as the palace ‘gateway to India’s most flamboyant state’, and it’s truly a beautiful pink gem in the crown of Rajasthan with architectural wonders and rich cultural traditions.

The history of the pink city goes back to the 1876 Royal visit to India by Prince Albert. The Maharajah of Jaipur, Sawai Ram Singh, wanted to impress the English aristocracy with a visit from the prince so he cleverly built a Concert Hall in the Prince’s honour, named the Albert Concert Hall (a popular tourist destination today). Then the Maharajah had the entire city repainted in the colour pink!

Traditionally pink represents hospitality and welcome in India so it’s truly a fitting colour. After the prince’s visit, the Maharajah’s first wife loved the pink so much, that the law was changed to require every building in the city to be painted pink. This law is still in effect today!

Nowadays, Jaipur is a popular destination because it’s a good walking city and there are plenty of historic and architectural wonders to explore….see things to see below…
