Welcome to Jaipur, a city with a funny past and a bright present, and perhaps the most amazing destination of India, if the historical trance is the cause of concern. The capital of the major state of India, Rajasthan, Jaipur, is clean and well planned, and is called "Pink City". This is because the city owns most of what King Sawai Jai Singh built in 1727 available in good condition.

Jaipur was planned by a Bengali architect Vidhyadhar Chakravorty, who divided the city into 9 blocks and laid wide straight streets. The city was surrounded by a formidable wall. This planning pattern can still be seen in Jaipur while exploring the interior of the city. Chowkri (block) Sarhad was once a palace dotted with temples, gardens and other royal buildings, while Purani Basti was reserved for the residence of courtiers. Businessmen and officials received the Chowkri Modikhana Vishveshwar Ji, and Ghat Darwaza was occupied by merchants and artists. In the same way, all 9 blocks were assigned for different purposes.
