Jaipur the hue-many-tarian city. At one point of time it was also considered as Paris of India.

Jaipur has so many hues to its credit. It is famous for so many things, from architecture to fabric print style. Just for your knowledge and for my love for this city of Radha-Govinddev Ji, I would like to mention the things it is famous for-

* Jaipur is world famous for its first and foremost popular  
  symbol, The Hawamahal.


* It is world over 
known  for its Pink color. The hue of love, 
  romance and energy in life.

* Jaipuri Gems and Jewellery has also earned a lot of fame
  and respect for this city and its art.


* Very light in weight but very warm and cozy, The Jaipuri
  Quilts.


* Bagru Block  Print has given a new shape to the popularity
  of this city.


* Sanganeri Print has also made this city famous world
  over.


* Then its the world's largest Cannon on Wheels at the
  Jaigarh Fort, which adds grandness to the fame of this
  city.


* It is also famous for Thewa art in Jewellery.


* And the last but not the least, the formation of Jaipur
  city is based on a game and its name is "Chaupad".
  Chaupad is a traditional game of India and
  has mythological connection also.
