Rajasthan is a diverse state with an eclectic mix of people of varied customs, culture, cuisines, and  costumes.  The state is blessed with enchanting forts and palaces, and havelis. It is the place where romance and bravery flow in conjunction.  The combing of erstwhile princely states of Rajputana, after Independence in 1947, took place in different stages. The first stage involved the merging of the princely states of Karauli Bhratpur, Dholpur, and Alwar forming the Matsya Union on March 17th, 1948. The second stage of union was completed on March 25th, 1948, with the merging of princely states of Banswara, Tonk, Dungarpur, Bundi, Jhalawar, Shahpura, Kishangarh, Pratapgarh, and Kota. With the merging of of Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Jaipur and Jodhpur the union of Rajasthan was finally completed and on March 30, 1949, the state of Rajasthan was formed as a separate state of Union of India.

The Government of Rajasthan which is the supreme governing authority of Rajasthan including  its 33 districts consists of an Executive, led by the Governor of Rajasthan, a Judiciary and a Legislative like all other states of India.
