Q1. Which princely state of Rajasthan gave protection to Blue Pottery, and especially under which ruler?
A Jaipur, Sawai Pratap Singh
B Jaipur, Sawai Ram Singh II Correct
C Mewar, Maharana Fateh Singh
D Mewar, Maharana Sajjan Singh
Explanation
Blue Pottery in Rajasthan is chiefly associated with Jaipur. It received notable patronage in the Jaipur state, especially during the rule of Sawai Ram Singh II, when court support helped revive and popularise the craft. Sawai Pratap Singh is linked with earlier Jaipur cultural patronage, but not the standard answer for this Blue Pottery protection question. Mewar under Maharana Fateh Singh and Mewar under Maharana Sajjan Singh are associated with other artistic and architectural traditions of Udaipur, not the Jaipur Blue Pottery tradition asked here.
