History

On 20 July 2005 the Diocese of Ajmer and Jaipur was split, and from that division the Roman Catholic Diocese of Jaipur (Dioecesis Iaipurensis) in India came into being. Twenty-one districts of the state of Rajasthan fall within its boundaries. What had been the parish church of Our Lady of the Annunciation at Malviya Nagar now serves as the cathedral for the diocese. As a suffragan see it answers to the Archdiocese of Agra. Around it lie the Diocese of Ajmer to the south; the Archdiocese of Delhi, the Diocese of Jalandhar, and the Diocese of Simla-Chandigarh to the north; the Archdiocese of Agra and the Diocese of Gwalior to the east; and, on the western side, Pakistan.
