There were very powerful rulers who ruled this state from the times that goes back to the (7 AD) till the founding of the Delhi Sultanate, Rajasthan was a state which was in fragments & all these fragmented kingdoms were fighting amongst each other.

& it was this era, during which the mighty Rajputs influnced the Brahmins to link them with the sun, moon & the fire god. As time passed, this state came under the rule of the powerful Rajputs who ruled this state for quite a long time till the Mughals came & defeated them in bloody battles & took over the reigns of the state into their hands.

As the Rajput rulers were constantly with war among themselves, the Mughals took advantage & took the power into their ownhands.Around the 14th century, the power of the Rajputs was on the decline.

The Mughal emperor Akbar the Great, was in the scene by this time & with his far sight,he was very successful in conquering thesmall but mighty Rajputs one by one.

He did one very good thing by not snatching their kingdoms, & allowed them to be in power under his rule which was the supreme rule consisting of many a small states.

As time passed the kings of these small kingdoms became very loyal to the Mughal supreme & Akbar also own over some of the very powerful Rajput kings by getting into matrimonial relationship with them.

He also gave a lot of high official posts to the Rajput kings to keep them under his control & even married Jodha Bai the daughter of Maharaja of Amber.

But as long as he was in power, everything was going all right. But after him, the Rajputs were left with out a powerful Mughal ruler & they again took over the reigns of their separate kingdoms themselves. In fact till today, the people of this state worship the Rajput rulers for their valor & bravery.
