sides by rugged hills, crowned with forts &
enclosed by embattled walls. Houses with latticed windows line the streets
with their rose pink colour lending enchantment to the scene which is all most
magical at sunset. The Old City (Known as the Pink City) is a great place to
wander around. The whole city was painted in Pink colour by Maharaja Man
Singh II when Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, visited Jaipur in 1876.
