Jaipur district, Administrative district in Rajasthan, India

The district spans 11,117 square kilometers and includes 16 administrative divisions called tehsils, with the capital city of Jaipur at its center.

Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II established the district's capital in 1727, moving from Amber to create India's first geometrically planned city.

The district maintains traditional crafts production centers specializing in textile printing, stone carving, metalwork, pottery, and jewelry manufacturing.

The region experiences temperatures above 40°C during summer months from April to July, while winters from December to February remain mild.

The district's capital buildings received a uniform pink color coating in 1876 for a royal visit, establishing the area's recognition as The Pink City.
