Explanation

Jaipur is called the Pink City because in 1876, Maharaja Ram Singh had the entire old city painted pink to welcome the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII). Pink was traditionally the color of hospitality in Rajput culture, and the color scheme has been maintained ever since, giving Jaipur its distinctive nickname.
