History of Jaipur |
|
The city of
Jaipur is the prime example of the culture and tradition of the
Rajputana Empire. In this land, towering forts were built for the
fortification of the city. The royal city of Jaipur owes its name to
the founder of the city, Sawai Jai Singh II (1693-1743) who founded
Jaipur in 1627. The city was well planned, structured, and had one
of the best drinking water systems in the medieval world. Being the
capital of Rajasthan, the city is mirror to every thing that
Rajasthan signifies, be its culture, tradition, society, and, most
important, the people. |
