The transcendent beauty of Jaipur lies in its rich and diverse cultural heritage. Soaked in majestic pink, the exquisite architecture of the Pink City indisputably narrates its historic royal bequest. The bounteous charm behind its pink colour, as per one of the theories, dates back to 1876 when Raja Sawai Ram Singh ji welcomed the Prince of Wales by painting the entire city in vibrant pink—symbolising hospitality and honesty. But as per some of the water paintings dated back to the early 18th century in the City Palace museum proves that may be the main lanes of the city were always painted with the terracota colour to give it an impression of red sandstone.
