Jaipur is a maze of fascinating bazaars, luxurious palaces and a futuristic observatory, Jaipur was the inspiration of Sawaii ruler Jai Singh, who moved the capital from Amber in 1727. Jaipur is located in a geometric grid of streets and squares, which makes it one of the earliest planned cities in India. In honor of the visit of Prince Edward, Prince of Wales, the city was painted in rich terracotta, a tradition that lasted for many years. It is for this reason that Jaipur is often called the "pink city." Today it serves as the capital of the state of Rajasthan.
Amber or Amer is a classic romantic palace of Rajasthan. Its construction was started by Maan Singh in 1592 and completed by his descendant Jai Singh. Its simple appearance contradicts the inner paradise, where the beautiful fusion of Mogul and Hindu styles finds its final expression.

The decorative facade of Hawa Mahal or the “Palace of the Winds” is an outstanding architecture in Jaipur. This is a five-story structure of sandstone, plastered in pink, with 953 balconies and windows. Built in 1799 by Pratap Singh, Mahal was the residence of the women of Maharaja.

Agra is a city in northern India, in the state of Uttar Pradesh. From 1528 to 1658 was the capital of the Mughal Empire. Now it is one of the largest tourist centers in India, thanks to the buildings of the Mughal Empire and, in particular, the Taj Mahal. Agra is located on the banks of the river Yamuna.
Agra-fort is a fortification in the Indian city of Agra, which served as the residence of the rulers in the era of the Mughal Empire. The construction of the fort itself began in 1565 on the initiative of Akbar the Great, who in 1558 transferred the capital from Delhi to Agra. Here he reconstructed the old and half-ruined fort Badalgar (according to the court historian Abdul-Fazal). Already in 1571, the fort was completely enclosed by a wall of Rajasthan red sandstone. The successors of Akbar the Great, above all Shah Jahan, expanded the fort at the beginning of the 17th century. During the reign of Akbar, preference was given to red sandstone with marble elements, while during the reign of Shah Jahan white marble with patterns of gold and precious stones was used as a building material.
