History of Jaipur Rajasthan :
The History of Jaipur is very interesting. The city has derived its name from its founder, Maharaja Jai Singh II. Jai Singh came into the power at very young age of 12 at the sudden demise of his father Maharaja Bishan Singh. Maharaj Jai Singh was extremely politically, intellectually talented. He had equal expertise in the battlefield and was known as the warrior-astronomer. After three years of his succession to the throne, Jai Singh was capable enough to withstand the Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb. Aurangzeb was so much impressed by the wit of Jai Sing that he conferred the title of “Sawai” which means “One and a Quarter”. The title was proudly borne by all the descendants of Jai Singh.

The wealth of the kingdom increased immensely and a rising need to settle the burgeoning population led Jai Singh to establish a new city which he named Jaipur. His vision and the intellect of Vidyadhar, the chief architect, helped in the establishment of city. Jai Singh's keen interest in arts, science and religion fostered their development in Jaipur. After Jai Singh's Death in 1744, his many offspring laid the kingdom prey to be invaded by the neighboring Rajput empires. It enjoyed cordial relations with the British. The credit of painting the city in pink goes to Maharaja Ram Singh who wanted the city to be a symbol of hospitality.

Following Indian independence in the later years, the royal land was transformed and was merged with Jodhpur, Jaisalmer and Bikaner thereby becoming the greater Rajasthan union. The title was revoked and Man Singh II was designated as an Indian Ambassador in Spain.
