However, in April 1819, the Bhatiyani Queen Anand Kanwarji of Jagat Singh gave birth to a son who was later named Jai Singh III and declared king.
Jai Singh III spent the first 9 years of his life within the confines of thezenana, making his first public appearance in a procession to the Jamwa Mata Temple after the people of Jaipur demanded to see their ruler. The task of administration was entrusted to RawalBerisal ofSamode. Constant troubles were created by Sanghi Jhutha Ram and Roopan Badaran, the former a suspect in the sudden death of Jagat Singh. In 1812, Jaipur's first Political Agent, J. Stewart, moved into Maji ka Bagh, a garden that had been laid by Jai Singh II's queen.
