Jaipur State was a princely state in India during the British Raj, established in 1727 when Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II founded the city of Jaipur. The state was known for its rich cultural heritage, distinctive pink architecture, and significant contributions to arts and sciences. It became part of India after independence in 1947, when princely states were integrated into the newly formed nation.
