The pink city of Jaipur has been named after its founder, the great
warrior and astronomer, Maharaja Jai Singh II, who ruled the city form
1688 - 1744. Belonging to the powerful Kachhawaha clan, Jai Singh
fortified his position by aligning himself with the Mughals and gaining
victories over Marathas.
The city of Jaipur came into conception when the city of Amber started
facing huge accommodation and water crisis. Hence Jai Singh decided to
construct a new city to adjust the burgeoning population. So, the king
along with a talented Bengali architect named Vidyasagar drew up the
plan for the new city of Jaipur, which is recorded in history as the
first planned city in modern India. Based on the principles of the
ancient Hindu text on architecture, the Shilpa Shastra, Jaipur came into
being in eight years. The magnificent City Palace and the famous Jantar
Mantar were designed by the king himself.
Jaipur was not just an aesthetic triumph; the stout city walls also
protected the city from would be invaders. Modern day Jaipur's cultural
heritage was fostered during Jai Singh's rule as the king himself took a
keen interest in arts, sciences and religions.
The death of Sawai Jai Singh II marked the glorious phase of Jaipur due
to the bitter infighting between his successors. Gradually, the British
entered into an alliance with the rulers who aligned themselves the
English cause. Finally, after the Indian independence, the city was
merged with other Rajput states to form Rajasthan and became the capital
city of Rajasthan in 1956 Rajasthan Travel Agent offers information on
