📜 Jaipur – A City of Stories

English Version:
“Welcome to Jaipur, the Pink City! Founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, Jaipur is India’s first planned city. Its beautiful wide streets, royal buildings, and colorful bazaars tell a story of vision, culture, and elegance. But the most interesting part? In 1876, the entire city was painted pink to welcome Prince Albert. Since then, this color has become a symbol of hospitality and tradition—you’ll find almost every building dressed in warm terracotta hues!”

Hinglish Version:
“Namaste dosto! Aap sab ka swagat hai Jaipur mein, jo ki Pink City ke naam se famous hai. Is shahar ko 1727 mein Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II ne banaya tha aur ye India ka pehla planned city hai. Yahan ki wide roads, royal buildings aur rang-birangi bazaars ek alag hi kahani sunate hain. Lekin sabse khaas baat ye hai ki 1876 mein poore shehar ko pink rang se paint kiya gaya tha Prince Albert ke swagat ke liye! Tab se ye pink rang Jaipur ki pehchaan aur mehmaan-nawazi ka symbol ban gaya hai.”

“Chaliye shuru karte hain Amber Fort se, jo 16th century mein banaya gaya tha.

“Next, we visit the Hawa Mahal, or the Palace of Winds. Built in 1799, this palace has 953 small windows—imagine how cleverly it was designed! The royal women could watch the bustling life of the city without being seen. It’s one of the most beautiful and photographed spots in Jaipur.”

Hinglish Version:
“Ab chalte hain Hawa Mahal, yaani Palace of Winds ki taraf. 1799 mein banaya gaya ye mahal 953 chhoti-chhoti khidkiyon se bhara hua hai! Raniyan yahan se shehar ka nazara dekhti thi bina kisi ko dekhe. Aaj bhi ye Jaipur ka sabse famous aur photo-friendly jagah hai.”

Har monument ek kahani batata hai—bas dhyan se suniye, aur aapko raja, rani aur kalakaron ki duniya ka anubhav milega.”
