More Information
Various accounts exist as to how Jaipur came to be so pink. One suggests that the city was painted ochre in imitation ofthe red sandstone architecture of Mughal cities, while another contends it was painted the colour of Rajput hospitality in preparation for an 1876 visit by Prince Albert and Queen Elizabeth II. Whatever the truth, the decision was a spectacularly good one.
