Charisma of the Pink City
At the edge of the Thar desert’s sandy festoon,
the train of the Aravalli hills cascading pretty
with the undulating landscape of ancient dune,
cradles joyous Jaipur, the royal pink city.
On carved hill-top mighty forts’ stone walls splay,
wrap the pictorial city portrait with history drape.
Passing through the sculpted ornate gateway
the orthogonal roads symbolize cubic cityscape .
Painted with the patina of lotus in shades of pink,
the capital of Rajasthan carries the mark of royalty.
Visiting this fascinating place I’m at beguiled brink,
for I’m charmed by the charisma of this colorful city.
