EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the regal presence of two Sikh princes, Bhupinder Singh and Jagatjit Singh Bahadur, on a momentous day in history - 20th July 1918. The image showcases their resplendent ceremonial attire, adorned with jewels and medals that reflect their status as esteemed rulers of Punjab. Bhupinder Singh, also known as Maharajah of Patiala, stands tall with an air of authority while Jagatjit Singh Bahadur, the Maharajah of Kapurthala, exudes elegance by his side. These two influential figures represented India at the League of Nations during a time when the British Empire held sway over vast territories. The portrait captures not only their physical appearance but also serves as a window into Indian imperial history. Their traditional dress speaks volumes about their cultural heritage and signifies their position within society. Photographed by an English photographer from the 20th century, this print now resides in a private collection. It is a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by these remarkable individuals who played significant roles in shaping India's past. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era where opulence met tradition; where power was displayed through elaborate costumes and dignified poses. This photograph encapsulates both the grandeur and complexity of Indian royalty during colonial times – a visual reminder of our shared history.
