Jaipur: 'The Pink City' Filming Locations
Jaipur is the capital of India’s Rajasthan state. It evokes the royal family that once ruled the region and that, in 1727, founded what is now called the Old City, or “Pink City” for its trademark building color. At the center of its stately street grid (notable in India) stands the opulent, colonnaded City Palace complex. With gardens, courtyards and museums, part of it is still a royal residence.
Amer is named for its 16th-century fort, a dramatic hilltop stronghold overlooking Jaipur. Often called the Amber Palace, the fort features a hall with intricate mirror mosaics and a Ganesh icon carved from coral. Nearby landmarks include the geometric Panna Meena ka Kund stepwell and Jagat Shiromani, a Hindu temple with a striking statue of goddess Kali. The Anokhi Museum showcases woodblock printing.
