Jaipur city, founded in 1727, is the only city in the world to have been shaped in the form of a nine-part Mandala which is called as the ‘Pithapada’.
Following the concept of Pithapada, the initial number of shops in the city were limited to 162 whose count came to 9 in total. The width of roads was also divided into three categories which were 54gaj( total count 5+4=9), 27 gaj (2+7=9) and 18 gaj (1+8=9).
Even the city’s foundation day was celebrated on November 18 where 8+1 comes to nine again.
