D.
Jaipur
Correct Answer:
D. Jaipur
Explanation:
Jaipur is famously known as the Pink City because of the distinct saffron or pinkish color of its buildings. This tradition began in 1876 when Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh ordered the entire city to be painted pink to welcome Prince Albert and Queen Victoria, as the color represented hospitality. While Kanpur, Nagpur, and Udaipur are significant Indian cities known for leather, oranges, and lakes respectively, Jaipur remains the one identified by this iconic color.
