Hidden Treasures Of Rajasthan - Indian Panorama
Jaipur is known as the Pink City (the buildings and outer walls of the Old City have retained the colour which they were bedecked in for a visit by British royalty in the 1860s), Jaipur is the modern-day capital of Rajasthan and home to quite probably India's best shopping experiences. The seemingly endless maze of streets, lanes and alleys of the Old City is a fantastic place for bargain hunting, people watching and sampling all manner of food and beverages. The major sightseeing attractions of Jaipur are Amber Fort, the City Palace and the odd but undeniably interesting Jantar Mantar astronomical observatory.
