Life In The Great Indian Desert/Thar Desert, India

Jaipur, the gorgeous city where everything comes alive

Pink City of Jaipur: The Capital of Rajasthan, India

Welcome to the old city of Jaipur located in the northwestern state of Rajasthan in India.

Here all the royal, traditional buildings and even the entire marketplace is painted in a dusky pink shade.

It all started in the year 1876 during the rule of Maharaja/King Sawai Ram Singh when every house, palace & building was painted in pink to welcome Queen Victoria & her husband, Albert Edward, Prince of Wales.

Pink colour is also known as the colour of hospitality.

The Blue Pottery

The Blue Pottery or the only form of pottery which is not made from clay. Yes, you heard that right. It's a stone based pottery. The name 'Blue Pottery' comes from cobalt blue dye used to colour the pottery.

A traditional craft of Jaipur of Central Asian origin. It is believed to have originated in China and then spread to Turkey & even Netherlands.

The Persian art of blue pottery came to Jaipur from Persia (as the name suggests) & Afganistan. It was brought to India during the Mughal period via Kashmir.

This pottery is made from an Egyptian paste by mixing quartz stone powder, powered glass, multani mitti/Fuller's earth, borax, gum & water.

Beautiful items like tiles, door knobs, pots, vases, plates, lamps are produced. The biggest advantage of this pottery is that it doesn't develop cracks; it is hygienic & is quite suitable for daily use. In recent times more colours like green, turquoise, yellow etc are being used.

In fact I can never get bored of travelling to the Pink City of India over & over again, just to to get a glimpse of those gorgeous blue creations. The colour blue makes me smile every time.
