Since 2000, the Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II Museum Trust has honoured individual contributions to society at an annual event organized on the occasion of the birthday of Late His Highness Brigadier Maharaja Sawai Bhawani Singh MVC of Jaipur. Awarded in a ceremony held at the royal Pritam Niwas Chowk of the City Palace, the awards recognize those who have demonstrated skills in the fields of Social services, Preservation, Medicine, Traditional craft, Astronomy, Journalism, Photography, and others. Each awardee receives a citation, a cash prize of Rs. 31,000/-, a shawl, a replica of the famous silver urn or Gangajali of Jaipur, and a memento. Our hope is that this recognition will encourage others to contribute to the betterment of our shared society.
