The most popular one so far has its origin in the colonial rule. In the year 1876, Prince Albert was to undertake a tour of India. Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh II, who was the then ruler of Jaipur, in his infinite spirit of hospitality, had the whole city painted pink terracotta in honour of the royal guest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pink was considered the colour of hospitality. Since then it became a law to have all buildings and homes painted in pink. The law is being followed to date in some parts. Historic accounts state the city was coloured in white before it was turned pink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Political Relations with British<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone normal size-full wp-image-4800\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/static-blog.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Albert-Hall-Museum-in-Jaipur.jpg\" alt=\"Albert Hall Museum in Jaipur\" class=\"wp-image-4800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Albert-Hall-Museum-in-Jaipur.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Albert-Hall-Museum-in-Jaipur-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Albert Hall Museum in Jaipur<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Popular belief states that painting Jaipur pink as a welcoming gesture was part of the Maharaja\u2019s extreme strategy to impress Prince Albert upon his visit to India and he really wanted the Prince to visit Jaipur so that he could build strong relations with the Britishers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What lends credence to this theory is the fact that the Maharaja also constructed a lavish concert hall and named it Albert Hall in honour of the British Prince. It is modeled after Victoria and Albert Museum in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also read<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/jaipur-itinerary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jaipur Itinerary<\/a> with Food, Sites &amp; More<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone normal size-full wp-image-16618\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/static-blog.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Albert-Hall-Museum.jpg\" alt=\"Albert Hall Museum\" class=\"wp-image-16618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Albert-Hall-Museum.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Albert-Hall-Museum-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Albert-Hall-Museum-768x574.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Albert-Hall-Museum-740x553.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Albert Hall Museum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Name is a Royal Gift<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It makes sense too, since during Prince Albert\u2019s long visit to India, plenty of Indian rulers at the time gave him expensive gifts and were all trying to show their hospitality towards him, including rulers of Alwar, Benaras, Mysore and Jodhpur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is believed that when the Prince visited Jaipur and saw its gorgeous pink avatar, he exclaimed \u2018Pink City\u2019 and the nickname stuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone normal size-full wp-image-24237\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1078\" src=\"https:\/\/static-blog.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Webp.net-compress-image-1-31.jpg\" alt=\"A portrait of Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh II\" class=\"wp-image-24237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Webp.net-compress-image-1-31.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Webp.net-compress-image-1-31-223x300.jpg 223w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Webp.net-compress-image-1-31-768x1035.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Webp.net-compress-image-1-31-760x1024.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Webp.net-compress-image-1-31-740x997.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>A portrait of Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh II<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Another Reason<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone normal size-full wp-image-16142\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/static-blog.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Jaigarh-Fort.jpg\" alt=\"Jaigarh Fort\" class=\"wp-image-16142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Jaigarh-Fort.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Jaigarh-Fort-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Jaigarh-Fort-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Jaigarh-Fort-740x494.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Jaigarh Fort<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the marvels in the city are built in red sandstone.

And still remains applicable. Even today, if you google pictures of Jaipur\u2019s residential areas, you will find that they are mostly painted in some or the other shade of pink.
