Rajasthan's most vibrant city, Jaipur, is enveloped in myriad colours. Known across the country for its sheer splendour and royalty, the Pink City's most famous landmark is the bustling Statue Circle.

A popular hangout for locals and tourists, the Statue Circle surprisingly owes its name to its shape and not the grand Sawai Jai Singh statue it houses.
