During the British Raj, Jaipur was the capital of a princely
state of the same name. Jaipur state, which existed from the
twelfth century until Indian Independence in 1947, took its
name from the city. The state is said to have been founded about
1128 by Dulaha Raya, who hailed from Gwalior; he and his Kachwaha
kinsmen are said to have absorbed or driven out the local Meenas
chiefs . Their original capital in the Dhundhar region was Dausa,
Ramgarth then Amber before the shift to Jaipur. Maharaja Sawai
Man Singh II (1922-1949), in 1948, shortly after India's independence,
acceded the state of Jaipur to the Government of India, and
Jaipur became the capital of Rajasthan.
