Jaipur Royal Family

The Jaipur Royal Family, also known as the Kachwaha dynasty, ruled the princely state of Jaipur in Rajasthan, India, from the 12th century until India's independence in 1947. They are known for their contributions to art, architecture, and culture, having built the iconic City Palace and the Hawa Mahal in Jaipur. The family played a significant role in regional politics and historically aligned with the British during colonial rule. Today, descendants of the royal family still hold cultural significance and engage in heritage conservation, while some participate in tourism and community development initiatives in Rajasthan.
