The Pink City of Jaipur, capital of Rajasthan, is the first ever planned city in India and one of the first in Asia. The uniform terracotta-shaded pink tone was given to the city as a part of the ceremonial welcome to the British Prince of Wales, Edward VII. The planning chief was a Bengali architect, Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, who shaped the town as per the Shilp Shastra and Vastu Shastra, which are the Indian sciences of architecture.

The city features numerous majestic avenues, market-squares, a town-hall, temples and palaces like the Hawa Mahal, Raj Mahal, Amber Fort and Jaigarh Fort. The city also features an old walled-citadel and buildings of intricate Rajputana architecture.
