Rajasthan's beautiful Pink City Jaipur, was the stronghold of a clan
of rulers whose three hill forts and series of palaces in the city
are important attractions. Known as the Pink City because of the
colour of the stone used exclusively in the walled city, Jaipur's
bazaars sell embroidered leather shoes, blue pottery, tie and dye
scarves and other exotic wares. Western Rajasthan itself forms a
convenient circuit, in the heart of the Thar desert which has shaped
its history, lifestyles and architecture.
