Bagru

Town in the State of Jaipur, Rajputana, situated in 26 48' N. and 75 33' E., on the Agra-Ajmer road, about 18 miles south-west of Jaipur city. It is the residence of a thakur, who serves the Jaipur Darbar with fourteen horsemen but pays no tribute. The place is famous for its dyed and stamped chintz, but the industry has suffered owing to cheap foreign imitations. There are two elementary indigenous schools attended by 28 boys.
