Jaipur is a very colorful city, established when Maharaja Jai Singh decided to shift his capital from Amber to a new place due to the growing needs of the population.

Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II was a visionary ruler and an avid astronomer. He desired a new capital that would reflect both his power as a king and his scientific interests. The location of Jaipur was strategically chosen as it offered better prospects for trade and defense compared to the previous capital, Amber. Jaipur was built in accordance with the principles of Hindu town planning. It is divided into nine rectangular sectors, called chokris, representing the nine divisions of the universe.

The city was initially named "Jai Singh Pura" after its founder, but it was later renamed "Jaipur". To maintain harmony and unity, Jai Singh invited skilled artisans, craftsmen, and merchants from various parts of India to settle in Jaipur. This led to a flourishing arts and crafts industry, with skilled craftsmen specializing in gem cutting, jewelry making, block printing, and miniature paintings. Today, Jaipur has become a paradise for shoppers.
