Jaipur is famously known as the pink city because of the color that dominates the city's architecture. The history of Jaipur goes back to the early 18th century when it was established in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. Before Jaipur was built, his capital was based in Amer, also known as Amber. However, the population increased and water supply became a problem so Maharaja Jai Singh had to build a new city with better planning and design. It was designed by an architect – Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, Bengali, who followed Vastu Shastra which are some principles of construction by Hinduism, and Shilpa Shastra.
