Suchit Nanda > Pictures of Jaipur - Capital of the State of Rajasthan taken March 2007. The "Pink City" as the city of Jaipur is called is located about 250 Km from Delhi and is well connected by air, road and rail. Jaipur is often the starting point for tourists visiting Rajasthan. Founded by Raja Sawai Jai Singh II in 1727, Jaipur is famous for Amber Fort, Jantar Mantar, Hawa Mahal, City Palace & Sisodia Rani Ka Bagh. It is also known for the textile block prints, semi precious jewelry, handicraft items and Raj Mandhir (Movie theater).

The state of Rajasthan is located in the North Western part of India. Sand dunes, wooded hills, and amazing lakes & palaces come together with men & women in colourful turbans & skirts making it an enchanting location to visit. It is a kaleidoscope of brightly turbaned men with proud moustaches and women with twinkling anklets in colorful swirling ghagras. Extremely popular with the tourists, Rajasthan is worth a visit for anyone coming to India. The mood & rhythm changes from one region to the other but what hits you most is the warm and friendly smiles across the region.
