Naina NathJaipur: In the past, people were born into royalty. Nowadays, royalty is how you feel and no matter who you are and where you are from, we all want to feel a touch of royalty.
Jaipur, the magnificent capital of Rajasthan, also known as the ‘Pink City’, is a hub for tourists and visitors from all over the world, looking to explore and discover the rich history, glorious legacy and multifaceted culture of the Rajputana. The city was painted in hues of pink in 1876 to welcome the Prince of Wales.
