Ajmer State was a separate state within India from 1950 to 1956 with Ajmer as its capital. [1] Ajmer State was formed in 1950 out of the territory of former province of Ajmer-Merwara, which became a province of the Indian Union on 15 August 1947. It formed an enclave within the state of Rajasthan. Following the States Reorganisation Act in 1956 it was merged with Rajasthan. [2]
