Jaipur
If you pour a palette of vivid colours and sounds onto a city, what you’ll get is Jaipur, a city equal parts storybook wonderland and chaotic furnace. The terracotta-tinted city seems to occupy two modes of living at once: one evoked by frantic efforts to bypass throngs of motorbikes behind a caravan of camels, and another through relaxed strolls on the grounds of its colourful palaces, buoyed by nostalgic splendour.
