Raja of Amber, Bhar Mal received Emperor Akbar at Sanganer on 20/01/1562. Akbar persuaded him to join the imperial service. The advantage to the Muhghals of this treaty was to secure the route to the Emperor's present destination, the pilgrim centre at Ajmer, and beyond to the ports of Gujarat. The advantage to Amber was the immediate return of territory recently lost to Rao Maldeo of Jodhpur, and beyond that, a privileged status within the empire.
Raja Man Singh (r.1592-1615) served his imperial master and brother-in-law in far-flung corner of the empire, notably in Bengal.
Mirza Raja Jai Singh I (r. 1623-1667 )occupied similar position of trust and service, under the Emperor Shah Jahan
In the long reign of Aurangzeb ( 1656-1707) Emperor's religious policies weakened the perception of the empire as a shared enterprise. Nevertheless, when Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II came to the throne of Amber in 1699, he served Emperor in the Deccan.
Sawai Jai Singh backed Azam Shah and being the loser at the battle of Jajau on 08 June 1707; lost as a punishment for this tactical error, Amber.
Jodhpur, Udaipur combine help was instrumental in recovery of Jodhpur in July 1708, and Amber in following October.
Jahandar Shah (r.1712-1713 ) appointed Sawai Jai Singh governor of Malwa, a position he maintained off and on through much of the reign of Farrukh Siyar (r.1713-1719); and he developed a close understanding with Muhammad Shah (r.1719-1748 )
Temporary invasion and sack of Delhi by Nadir Shah of Iran in 1739, encroachments of the Marathas in the South, and the Sikhs in the north-west damaged Mughal power considerably and kingdom of Amber asserted itself.
