Over 300 bird species are found in this 29-sq-kms-wildlife park of divided into

Surrounded

is the capital of Rajasthan. The whole city was painted pink by Maharaja Man Singh
II when Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, visited Jaipur in 1876. Today, every
home within the city is obliged by law to maintain his facade. Did you know? Jaipur,
commonly referred to as the “Pink City” was not actually meant to be
“pink.” Maharaja Jai Singh decided to paint the city in the same red
sandstone used in Delhi and Agra to symbolize imperialism. However, since the
city was made out of rubble rather than stone, the red colour turned pale and
became pink. The original red still remains in some parts of the “Pink City”
!!
