Walking through the streets in the morning, it's common to see people gathered around enjoying tea. 

The bustle of tea carts is a kind of prologue for locals to start the day. Almost every street corner is lined with tea carts. What is offered, it's a kind of milk tea or teh tarik.

In the breeze of the morning air, social organisations also warm up the spirits by distributing free tea to homeless people and job seekers who come from all over Jaipur.

As the largest city in Rajasthan, Jaipur is a magnet for job seekers from neighbouring states. With a population of over 3 million, the city, founded on 18 November 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the ruler of Amber, is nicknamed the "Pink City" as almost all buildings in the city are painted pink.

As the sun rises, the spirit of commerce begins to emerge. As the afternoon progresses, the bustle of shops and waves of people dressed in colourful Indian attire becomes more and more crowded. Thousands of free-flying pigeons also mark the uniqueness of Jaipur.
