GENERAL INTRODUCTION:
The lovely Pink City of Rajasthan Jaipur was once the bastion of a ruling family, and the city’s three hill forts and a succession of palaces are prominent tourist attractions. Jaipur’s bazaars sell embroidered leather shoes, blue pottery, tie-and-dye scarves, and other exotic products, earning it the nickname “Pink City” due to the colour of the stone used solely in the walled city.
