Rajasthan Day was founded in 1949, and Jaipur was designated as the state's capital.
Rajasthan is known as the "Land of Kings" or "Land of Kingdoms" since it is the largest state in terms of land area. It is located in the country's northwest and has a diverse cultural population. When Rajputana was absorbed into the Dominion of India on March 30, 1949, the state was constituted. Jaipur, the state's biggest city, was designated as its capital. Ajmer State, Hadoti, Dhundhar, Gorwar, Shekhawati, Mewar, Marwar, Vagad, and Mewat are the nine regions of Rajasthan. Both in terms of historical and creative contribution, these locations are equally rich. Rajasthan has a history that spans back 5000 years. Rajasthan was made up of previously autonomous kingdoms that had a rich architectural and cultural legacy.
