Explanation

Jaipur earned the 'Pink City' nickname in 1876 when Maharaja Ram Singh painted the entire city pink (using terracotta-colored sandstone) to welcome the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII), as the color pink represents hospitality in Rajput culture. Gwalior is known for its fort, Coimbatore is the 'Manchester of South India' for textiles, and Pune is the 'Oxford of the East' for education.
