About Jaipur
Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan, a state in north-western India, and the largest city in it. Sawai Jai Singh II, ruler of Amer, founded it in 1727, and the town plan was drawn up by Vidyadhar Bhattacharya. The 2011 count gave it 3.1 million people. Its nickname, the Pink City, comes from the colour of the old town's buildings. Jaipur runs on India Standard Time, UTC+5:30, and India has no daylight saving. Delhi shows the same time all year. New York is ten and a half hours behind in January and nine and a half hours behind in July.
