Jaipur, the vibrant capital of
Rajasthan is popularly known as the pink city
because of the pink colored buildings in its
old city. It sits on a dry lakebed in a somewhat
arid landscape, surrounded by barren hills surmonted
by forts and crenelated walls. This buzzing
metropolis is certainly a place of wild contrasts
and a feast for the eyes. Vegetable laden camel
carts thread their way through streets jam packed
with cars, rickshaws, bycycles and pedestrians
frantically dodging the crazy traffic. Traditionally
