At that time the city had nine gates but now the area of  Jaipur is 3,000 square kilometres and still it is expanding.

THE SAWAI FLAG-means the KING is in the palace in the city. The oraganiser of the Jaipur city Sawai Jaisingh was the first such king who was given the highest post after all the kings in DILLI DARBAR(now DELHI) . Badshah AURANGJEB had given the name SAWAI  to the king JAISINGH for his valliancy. SAWAI FLAG was given to him with his name at the same time in his honour. The SAWAI FLAG  still stands on the Fort of Jaipur (now CITY PALACE),when the flag stands on the fort it means the king is in the city and when the flag is taken off it means the king has gone somewhere outside the city or then called riyasat,the flag comprises of five colours.
