EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a memorable moment from the historic visit of Queen Elizabeth II to India in 1961. The monarch, dressed in a elegant white sari and adorned with traditional jewels, sits confidently atop an ornately decorated elephant as it makes its way through the ancient city of Jaipur. The Maharaja of Jaipur, Sawai Man Singh II, stands proudly beside her, holding the reins. The Queen's visit to India, which took place from November 1961 to February 1962, was her first official tour abroad as monarch. The tour was significant as it marked the end of the British Raj and the beginning of a new era in India-Britain relations. The visit also served to strengthen the ties between the two countries and to promote cultural exchange. During her stay in Jaipur, the Queen was given a warm welcome by the people of the city. She attended various ceremonies and cultural events, and even took part in an elephant polo match. This photograph, taken during her ride through the city, is a testament to the warmth and hospitality she received. The image is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when royalty and tradition held a special place in society. It also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of India and the strong historical ties between India and the United Kingdom.
