History of Jaipur

Jai Singh was keen on the security aspect of the City because of foreign threats towards northern India.[2] Being a lover of mathematics and science, Jai Singh sought advice from Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, a Brahmin scholar of Bengal, to aid him to design the city architecture.Vidyadhar referred the ancient Indian literature on astronomy, books of Ptolemy and Euclid, and discussed the plan with the King.Still, the neat and broadly laid-out avenues, painted in pink provide a magical charm to the city.Jaipur is rich in its cultural and architectural beauty, which can be traced in the various historical and aesthetic places that reside in the city.
The present Amer Fort was built in 1592 during the reign of Raja Man Singh and was expanded by his successor Jai Singh I . It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013.
