Jaipur, State capital city in Rajasthan, India
The city features a systematic grid layout with wide streets, encircled by walls containing seven gates and divided into six main sectors.
Maharaja Jai Singh II established the planned city in 1727, incorporating architectural principles of Vastu Shastra in its geometric street patterns.
The markets of Jaipur display traditional Rajasthani artistry through block printing, jewelry making, pottery, and textile production across numerous bazaars.
The elevation of 431 meters provides Jaipur with moderate temperatures during winter months, while summers experience high desert climate conditions.
The buildings in the old city contain pink sandstone facades, a design element that was implemented throughout the entire district in 1876.
