Answer:

Jaipur

Step-by-step explanation:

Jaipur is Rajasthan's capital and largest Indian state city. It is also known as the Pink City, owing to the colour of its buildings.

It was one of modern India's earliest planned towns, built by Vidyadhar Bhattacharya. The town served as the capital of the state of Jaipur during the British Colonial period.

Jaipur was made capital of the newly formed state of Rajasthan after independence in 1947.
