Dhundhar

Dhundhar was the Kachhwaha Rajput kingdom of Amber in Rajputana. In 1337 its ruling house held Amber, the capital taken by its early ruler Kakil.

Bharmal married his daughter to the Mughal emperor Akbar in 1562; his grandson Man Singh I went on to command Mughal armies. Jai Singh II founded Jaipur as his new capital in 1727 and built observatories. Succession wars and Maratha tribute weakened the kingdom before its 1818 subsidiary alliance with the East India Company.
