The House of Jaipur

The House of Jaipur refers to the royal family that rules Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, India. Founded in the early 18th century by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the dynasty has a rich history associated with architecture, culture, and governance. The family played a significant role during India's princely state era and today, they are known for their contributions to heritage preservation and tourism. The current head, as of recent times, holds a ceremonial position, reflecting the transition from monarchy to a democratic framework, while still maintaining a cultural significance in Indian society.
