Jaipur Palace of the Winds
Jaipur, popularly known as the "Pink City", and "Paris of India", is the capital of Rajasthan state, India. The city was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, a Kachawaha Rajput, who ruled from 1699-1744. Initially his capital was Amber (now pronounced as Amer).

Thanks for dropping by my blog.
When I went to India in 2007, this Pink Palace of the Winds was unavailable for tourists due to all the scaffolding & renovations. I was devastated because I really wanted to see it. I hope to see it this summer. Will take pics.
good to see you again stranger!
what a great picture. i never really thought about going to india...maybe i should reconsider?
It's an awesome experience...And it's very good to catch up with you, Jaime.
