The Pink City and Palace, Jaipur


In 1876 the Indian ruler had the entire old city painted sandstone pink, the color of hospitality, to welcome the Prince of Wales who later became King Edward VII. The bazars we saw surrounding the city palace were loud and chaotic as we walked inside the old walls.



Saris are spread out on a long surface to review for purchase. We discovered that only men work outside the home in every store and restaurant throughout India.


Entertainment during lunch.
