The Jaipur painted in pink can grab any visitor with admiration. Breathtaking backdrop of ancient fortresses: Nahargarh, Amer, Jaigarh and Doongari Moti testimonies are fit for the past era and a reminder of their lingering romance and chivalry.

Jaipur is the name of its founder, the sovereign warrior and astronomer, Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh (who ruled from 1688 to 1744). The decision to leave his Amer hill capital was also forced for reasons of population growth and water shortages. In addition, in the 17th century the power of the great Mughals was decreasing with the aging Aurangzeb Monarch. After several centuries of invasions of the north now it was quiet and the wealth of the kingdom had increased considerably. Taking advantage of this opportune moment, Jai Singh planned his new capital in the plains.

Jaipur is a test that corroborates the strong foundations Sawai Jai Singh in science and astrology and a Vidyadhar architect Bengali with a strong instinct for planning.
