Jaipur History
|
|
Raja Sawai
Jai Singh had his capital in Amber, when he felt the need of
shifting his capital to another place for the safety of the
ever-increasing population and growing scarcity of water. In
the eighteenth century, he finally built Jaipur. It was also
the time when the glory of Mughal Empire was on its decline.
Jaipur became the first planned city of India, which was
designed by a brilliant Bengali architect who was well
versed in his area of study and was known as Vidyadhar
Bhattacharya. The city was planned on the edicts of the
ancient Hindu treatise on Indian architecture, Shilpa
Shastra. The city was planned in a grid system and boasts of
wide and straight avenues and roads that are arranged
dexterously in nine rectangular city sectors. As a safety
measure against any possible invasions, the city was
enveloped with the fortification walls with seven gates.
Tourists find it astonishing that the whole city was painted
in autumn pink by the then sovereign of the city to welcome
his distinguished guest, the Prince of Wales in 1876.
There are different versions to the reason why the pink was
chosen as the color for the city. If we believe the local
fables, some people say that when the ambassadors of Prince
of Wales visited the city prior to his visit, some simpleton
insultingly called them the 'pink-faced monkey', as a result
of the contempt for the British that had India under their
clutches. To make up for his rashness and as a diplomatic
tact, Raja and his ministers maintained that the person had
called them so in reverence, as the 'monkey' was worshipped
in the region as 'Hanuman' and pink was the sacred color of
the region. To give conviction to their seemingly improbable
reason they painted the city pink on the Prince's arrival.
Others maintain that city was painted pink merely because
the contractor was unable to supply any other color in such
huge quantities that were needed to paint the whole city!
Since then the pink color has been associated with
hospitality in Jaipur and Rajput culture. |
