It was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh (reg 1700–43) as a new capital to succeed Amer. Jai Singh's main adviser in building the city was his courtier Vidyadhar Chakravarty. The city was designed on a grid pattern consisting of rectangular blocks (Hindi cokri) enclosed within a strong crenellated wall. Its most remarkable feature is the planned distribution of space. At the heart of the city is the sprawling palace complex (popularly known as 'City Palace') with its adjacent astronomical observatory, reflecting Jai Singh's interest in the study of the stars and planets. Temples, shops, large family houses (hāvelīs) and gardens are neatly arranged along wide roads and lanes intersecting at right angles. The shops lining the principal roads were designed to be of uniform size with similar façades. The most important structures dating from the reign of Jai Singh are the Chandra Mahal in the City Palace complex, the observatory, the temple dedicated to Govindadeva (an aspect of Krishna) within the palace complex and a number of large hāvelīs. Sawai Ishvari Singh (reg 1743–50) built the beautifully carved white marble cenotaph of Jai Singh at the royal cremation site at Gaitore and the imposing tower known as Swarga Shuli or Isar Lat in the heart of the city. His brother Sawai Madho Singh I (reg 1750–68) built the Madho Nivas in the City Palace complex, the Jal Mahal palace on an island in Man Sagar Lake, Madho Vilas outside the northern gate of the city and the unique landscape garden in the south-east corner of the city known as Sisodiya Rani ka Bagh. Sawai Pratap Singh (reg 1778–1803), a great devotee of Krishna, built temples to this deity as well as the monument known as the Hawa Mahal ('Palace of the Wind'). This building consists of a façade with small rooms, halls, passages and open courtyards behind it, and it may have been intended as a place from which women of the court could view processions and celebrations. A new spate of building activity was undertaken in the mid-19th century. During the reign of Sawai Ram Singh II (reg 1835–80) Samuel Swinton Jacob was appointed the State Engineer-in-Chief. His finest building is the Albert Hall, which houses the Central Museum. Other buildings from the period of Ram Singh II and his successor Sawai Madho Singh II (reg 1880–1922) are the Mubarak Mahal in the City Palace complex, the town hall, Mayo Hospital (also designed by Jacob) and the Rambagh Palace (now a hotel). It was probably during the reign of Ram Singh II that buildings in Jaipur were colored a uniform earthy pink (obtained by mixing finely ground terracotta in the wash) giving rise to the epithet, the 'Pink City'. Modernization continued during and after the reign of the last Maharaja, Sawai Man Singh II (reg 1922–49). Buildings in an international modern style have been constructed mainly outside the old city walls. Traditional crafts still practiced in the city include gem-cutting, enameling, jewelry-making and the production of hand-loom block-printed textiles. Among the city's outstanding museums are the Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II Museum, housed in parts of the City Palace, and the Government Central Museum.
