Wide straight streets and boulevards with incredible architecture in pink sandstone-style stucco give the city its other name of the pink city, further enhanced by painting the entire city pink to welcome the Prince of Wales in 1853.
After much strategic planning the core of the city was built in just 4 years and incorporated the major palaces, square and roads. Classic Hindu architectural principles of design, geometry and astronomy were strictly adhered to and the nine blocks which made up the original city encompassed state buildings and palaces within two of the blocks with the remainder given over to public use. Huge fortified walls with seven strong gates encircled the city and although the city has grown in both size and popularity since, it has lost none of its charm.
Popular sights to see in Jaipur include the Palace of Winds, Hawa Madal, a palace designed in the form of the crown of Krishna, and the Jal Mahal, a stunning Rajput style water palace. The fortified walls around the original city remain largely intact and include the forts of Jaigarh and Nahargarh, which are beautiful in their own right and offer incredible views over the city and beyond. Also worth a visit are the Jaipur Jantar Mantar a collection of architectural astronomical instruments, modelled after the same ones in Delhi, and indicative of the Hindu regard for science and philosophy.
