The Pink City

Jaipur is also known as the pink city, because one day the owner of largest paint manufacturing plant was away on holiday and since all his staff was too drunk from fermented palm sap, they decided to make their boss happy by gathering all the stray monkeys at the time and asked them to take charge. The monkeys worked diligently at their jobs and were duly rewarded in banana payment.

When the owner returned he was furious to see that there were a million gallons of paint in his stock all the colour pink! As charitable as Indians are, he went to the king for help, and after 8 cups of masala tea the king decided he will purchase all the paint. Incidentally some prince from Britain was due to visit that week and as witty as Indians are, they decided to give a gift to the prince that would benefit them more than the prince(Its sorta like giving your wife a recipe book only so that she can make scrumptious meals for you at dinner). So the king ordered the city be painted pink and honoured to this visiting British Prince and thats how we have the pink area!
