[:ja]NASAの地球観測衛星Landsat 8が撮影した、「ピンクシティー」として知られるインドのジャイプルです。インドは9月1日より”Unlock 4.0″を実施し、映画館や教育機関を除き、封鎖が解除される予定です。
ジャイプルは1727年11月18日、当時この地を治めていたラージプートの有力氏族、カチワーハー家の当主サワーイー・ジャイ・シング2世によって建設が開始されました。それ以前は北東に約11km離れた岩山に位置するアンベールが王国の首都でしたが、人口増加や水不足の理由から遷都の必要に迫られ、現在の町の位置に新たな計画都市として建設されました。画像からもわかるように、アンベールと異なり、ジャイプルは平野に建設されました。ジャイプルは2020年5月頃、サバクトビバッタの大群飛来し、農作物に大きな被害が出ています。

[Earthview Wonders] No.1103: Jaipur, India🇮🇳
NASA’s Landsat 8 captured Jaipur, India, known as “the Pink City.” India prepares for “Unlock 4.0” from Sept. 1, more activities have resumed across the states other than cinemas and educational institutions.
Jaipur was founded in 1727 by the Rajput ruler Jai Singh II, the ruler of Amer, after whom the city is named. It was one of the earliest “planned” cities of modern India, designed by Vidyadhar Bhattacharya. As can be seen from the image, unlike the previous capital, which was located on hilly terrain, Jaipur was built in a flat valley. In May 2020, Jaipur suffered the servere hitting of the locust swarm which fly up to 150km in a day.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
