Explanation

Jaipur is known as the Pink City because of the distinctive pink-colored sandstone used in its old city walls and buildings. The color was chosen to welcome the Prince of Wales in 1876 and has been maintained since. Udaipur (City of Lakes), Jaisalmer (Golden City), and Jodhpur (Blue City) have different monikers based on their architecture and geography.
