Mahapura, about 15 kilometers away from the capital town of Rajasthan (about one kilometer south-east of Jaipur-Ajmer road) is a historical village in Sanganer tehsil of Jaipur district, dedicated to the eminent scholar like Shivanand Goswami (the creator of Magnum Opus Simha sidhhanta Sindhu ) by Amer king Maharaja Bishan Singh. Maharaja had presented him this village as a jagir to mark his acceptance of his discipleship. Mahapura is one of the unique villages of India for many reasons, as many unknown aspects of history and culture are associated with this village. King Bishan Singh of the erstwhile Amer kingdom had invited him to Amer for getting a Vajpeya Yagna conducted. He also gave the title of Guru to Shivanandji and presented five villages as Guru-Dakshina. Mahapura was also one of these villages- Chimanpura, Harivanshpura, Ramjipura, Ramchandrapura.
