JAIPUR

The historic city of Jaipur (The City of Victory) was founded in 1727 A.D. by the great Kachhawah ruler Sawai Jai Singh II (1700 - 1747 A.D.). The monarch was not only a great builder but also a great poet and an astronomer. Under his aegis, the city was designed by his talented architect Vidyadhar, who gave shape to the creative aspirations of Sawai Jai Singh in the form of the dream city of Jaipur.

Jai Singh II was supremely talented - politically, intellectually and also on the battlefield, He was also known as the warrior-astronomer. In 1696 he had earned the title of ‘ Sawai ’ meaning ' One and a Quarter' (Intelligence) from emperor Aurangzeb after the emperor was impressed by his wit and pluck, a title which was proudly borne by all of Jai Singh's descendants. The Kingdom of Kachhawahas spread a lot in the entire sphere, eventually encompassing a large area which abutted the kingdoms of Mewar (Udaipur region) and Marwar (Jodhpur region). The history of Kachhawahas can be traced back to Duleh Rai, son of Sodh Dev, the Kachhawaha of ruler of Narwar (Near Gwalior), migrated to Dausa.

Duleh Rai was a Kachhawahas who could trace his lineage to Rama, hero of the sun-born dynasty immortalized in Ramayana. He was married to the daughter of Chauhans of Ajmer. Duleh Rai’s also known as ' Tej Karan', his son Kabil Dev is known to have established dynastic rule in Amber which was the most important stronghold of the Minas.

Amber is situated 11 kms out of Jaipur in the route of Delhi. The Kachhawahas originally hailed from Narwar (Near Gwalior) where they reigned for over 800 years. A martial alliance between to Kachhawahas prince, Tej Karan, and to Rajput princess of Chauhans of Ajmer resulted in the capturing of the region of Dausa. Tej Karan was able to defeat the Bargujras who ruled half of Dausa, the other half being under the dominance of the Chauhans.
Tej Karan's descendants converted the hill top on which Fort Amber was later built, recognizing its Virtue as a potential military stronghold. The original Site was eventually princed from its inhabitants, the susawat Minas, and the Minas were granted guardship of the Kachhawahas treasury in return.

The Kachhawahas, despite being devout Hindu belonging to the Kshatriya (warrior) caste, recognized the expediency of aligning themselves with the powerful Mughal Empire. They paid homage at the Mughal court, and cemented the relationship with marital alliances. They were handsomely rewarded for their bravery defending the mughals in their various skirmishes. With war loots they were able to finance construction of the fortress palace at Amber, which began in 1592 by Maharaja Man Singh, the Rajput commander of Akbar's Army. Man Singh was known to be a navratna (One of the Nine Jewels) in the court of Akbar.

Maharaja Man Singh
He ruled from 1590-1619 had a multi-faceted personality with varied interests. He started workshops and departments devoted to art, crafts, literature and the performing arts. Some of the Crafts Traditions for which Jaipur is famous for are like Minachari, paper mashing and carpet weaving, were introduced by him with craftsmen being brought in from Lahore, Sialkot, and Gujarat. He patronized many poets, authors, and scholars at his court and was fond of dance, music and drama.

Raja Man Singh is known to have brought these three deities of "Sangamar ka Sanga Baba / Jaipur Ka Hanuman / Amber ki Shila Devi" as said in the above popular saying. The sect of Sangababa is in Sanganer, the image of Hanuman at the entrance of the gate of Chand pol bazar and the idol of Shila Devi is at Amber.

Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II
He had earned both the title of Maharaja in 1707 and Sawai in 1713. The Kachhawahas recognized the expediency of aligning themselves with the powerful mughal emperor. However Jai Singh incurred the displeasure of Aurangzeb successor of Bahadur Shah, who came in 1707.
Bahadur shah's accession which controlled by his younger brother, Azam Shah and Jai Singh unfortunately supported the younger brother's bid for power. Bahadur shah, was eventually given the Delhi throne, retaliated by invading Amber and ousting the Young Jai Singh and installing younger Vijay Singh into his place. He regained the capital with the help of Udaipur and Jodhpur (marrying one princes each form the states) in 1708, and eventually reconsolidate his rule.

The wealth of the kingdom increased exponentially, and this together with the need to accommodate the ever burgeoning population and paucity of water at the old capital Amber, prompted the Maharaja in 1727 to commence work on a new City he named after himself -- Jaipur.
It was a collaborative endeavor, the synthesis of union of the Maharaja and the impressive expertise of his chief architect, Vidyasagar. Jai Singh's Strong grounding in the sciences is reflected in the precise symmetry of the new city which, as appeared to the other unplanned and labyrinthine cities which predominated in North India at that time, was laid out according to the strict principles of town planning set down in the "Shilpa Shastra" an ancient Hindu creative architecture. In the year 1728 - 34 he built the Jantar Mantar (j(y)antra = instrument, device; mantra = magic formula) his open air observatory or outside astronomical instrument. In mathematics and astronomy, as in war and town- planning, Jai Singh did nothing by halves -- his scientific inventiveness were supposed to property emerged when, aged 13, he devised an irrigation system to water the hanging gardens of Amber Fort.

The most central of the seven right-angled comprises of city Palace complex, containing the Palace itself, the administrative quarters, the Jantar Mantar (Jai Singh' S remarkable observatory) and the janana mahals or the women’s Palaces, where the maharajas held dubious honor of maintaining more wives than any of his predecessors, although most of these alliances were motivated more by political expediency than by amorous compulsions.
As ardent of Vaishvanite in 1714 he reinstated the image of Govind dev, removing it from the impressive red sandstone temple built by his ancestor Raja Man Singh, at Vrindavan and later installed it in 1719 within the city Palace complex.

The City was not an first year aesthetic Triumph; its stout walls served to protect its in inhabitants from invaders, encouraged merchants and trades people to flock here and further serving to enhance -- the city' s growth and prosperity. Jai Singh’s Interest in the Arts, Sciences and Religion fostered to their development in Jaipur, and the royal court became a centre of an intellectual and artistic endeavor. As a scholar and owner of Arts, He attracted some of the most learned scholars, astronomers, teachers, writers, poets, architects, lawyers, painters and preachers to his court. An extraordinary amount of literary activities took place in his reign, surpassing in its ranges and volume any of his predecessors of successor.

He was a Shaivite, year burning devotee of Shiva. He had some very modern stretches, enjoyed photography and is the very first great premium who martyred ball room dancing. Ram Singh II was a great connoissor of Music and was adept at playing the Veena - a multi stringed instrument. He was also a reformist and it was in his reign that slavery, child infanticide and the cruel custom of Sati were officially abolished in Jaipur in 1839.

The Ram Nivas garden was laid out in his time with the Albert hall museum at its heart.

Madao Singh II
He was the next ruler after Maharaja Ram Singh II got expired in 1880 and he died heirless, as per the tradition if any King of Jaipur died heirless the adoption of the first family would be from the Thakur of Thilai. But this tradition was forsaken by ram Singh II when he chose the second so of the Thakur of Isarda. At the Time of his adoption, Kayam Singh (Later Madho Singh II) was employed in the Tonk cavalry as a sepoy. There am was about 18 years old. Madao Singh II was devoutly religious.
