01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Jaipur—3,046,163, Asia/Kolkata, and source coordinates—from live travel claims. Those fields identify and compare the record; they do not prove current transport, accessibility, census totals, or a City Atlas Club visit.
Wikidata's localized description: capital of Rajasthan, India.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Jaipur is GeoNames ID 1269515. Its recorded administrative path is Jaipur → Rajasthan → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Jaipur occurs once as a primary city label in this atlas sample; the numeric ID remains the durable source key if names change. The city row itself was updated 2025-08-05; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.
Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Jaipur ranks 114 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 10; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 75. Its 3,046,163 population value is 3.04 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 3.02 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Jaipur falls inside the leading tenth of this atlas's India population cohort. Jaipur's recorded value reaches at least twice the country-cohort median in this snapshot. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Jaipur's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Ajmer at 125.446 km with 542,321 recorded people; Kota at 193.222 km with 1,001,694 recorded people; Gurgaon at 210.264 km with 886,519 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 84.818 km. Compared with Ajmer, Jaipur's recorded population is 5.62 times as large. Against Jaipur, Ajmer follows Ajmer → Rajasthan → India in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries populated place rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Jaipur's. Against Jaipur, Kota follows Kota → Rajasthan → India in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries populated place rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Jaipur's. Against Jaipur, Gurgaon follows Gurugram district → Haryana → India in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Jaipur's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 797 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Jaipur's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the wider half of atlas distances. This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist. Read as one record signature, GeoNames 1269515, the coordinate pair 26.9196 / 75.7878, country rank 10 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1279159 at 125.446 km bind Jaipur to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Jaipur's reference point is 26.9196° north and 75.7878° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Kolkata is shared by 109 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Jaipur's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Jaipur's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Jaipur's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Jaipur, so the profile preserves that missing value instead of guessing terrain. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
