Raja Man Singh first constructed the Amber Fort. Jai Singh, I made it longer. Over the following 150 years, successive kings made improvements and expansions, until the Kachwahas moved their headquarters to Jaipur in 1727 under Sawai Jai Singh II. From the 11th century between 1037 and 1727 AD, the Kachwahas ruled over Amer as Dhundar until the capital was transferred from Amer to Jaipur. These kings are inextricably related to Amer’s history because Amer was where they established their dominion.
