Well there are no as such any architectural styles. Those are often noticeable all around the cities across India. But uh. Most recently I visited to Rajasthan and at that time I have seen so many cities. Those are well known for their colors. Especially Jaipur is well known as Pink City. As most of the house and structures are uh uh colored pink. As uh when we have visited to the another location that was known as Jopol that is the blue city. And uh we have also visited Jaial me that was the city uh that is a golden city. So maybe they apart from the structural design it depends on the person to it depends on individual choice. And it’s varied from person to person. Like how they are going to develop their own house. And uh for the governments there is no as such rule that they should have to follow. But uh I believe ancient in ancient times those homes are quite big andicious. Uh but uh. Nowadays people tend to congestive to live in congested places more.

While there isn't one specific architectural style that dominates all Indian cities, certain trends and influences are noticeable. For example, in Rajasthan, cities like Jaipur are renowned for their vibrant colors. Jaipur, known as the Pink City, features buildings and houses painted in shades of pink. Jodhpur, the Blue City, is famous for its indigo-hued structures. Jaisalmer, the Golden City, boasts buildings adorned with golden hues. Beyond the color schemes, the architectural styles vary greatly, influenced by individual preferences and local traditions. In the past, homes were often spacious and grand, but in modern times, there's a tendency towards denser living arrangements in urban areas. While there aren't strict government regulations dictating architectural styles, the historical influences and cultural preferences of each region contribute to the unique character of Indian cities.
