From the orange city of Nagpur to Jodhpur in blue – India’s cities shine in many colors. But Jaipur, a city steeped in pink, is something very special. Because until today there is a law that ensures that the city stays really pink. The color scheme of the city dates back to the 19th century.
Here, the city was colored pink in honor of the visit of the Prince of Wales, the British heir to the throne. The reason of the inhabitants: Rosa is the color of hospitality! Even today, a special sight: “the palace of the winds” – Hawa Mahal Palace.
Travel tip: Visit the magnificent palace Hawa Mahal, from which you have a magnificent view of the city palace and the hustle and bustle. But do not be disappointed: behind the impressive façade of the palace there is no splendid interior – just a courtyard with a stairway and ramps that lead to the galleries.
