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.
