Sir Pertab (Pratap) Singh (1845-1922), Maharaja of Idar: A Regal Figure of the Indian Subcontinent during the First World War This evocative photograph captures the regal presence of Sir Pertab (Pratap) Singh, Maharaja of Idar, an influential Indian ruler from the princely state of Idar in Gujarat, India. Dating from around 1913-1914, the image presents Sir Pertab in his full splendor, adorned in traditional Indian attire and ornate turban, symbolizing his rich heritage and royal status. Sir Pertab Singh was a significant figure during the early 20th century, a time when the British Empire held significant influence over India. Despite the political climate, the Maharaja remained a steadfast ally to the British during the First World War. His decision to support the British war effort was a strategic move, as it guaranteed the continuity of his rule and the protection of his state. The photograph showcases the intricacies of Indian royalty during this period, with Sir Pertab's attire reflecting the opulence and grandeur associated with the Indian aristocracy. The Maharaja's turban, a symbol of power and prestige, is adorned with precious stones and intricate embroidery, adding to his regal aura. As the world prepared for the tumultuous events of the First World War, Sir Pertab Singh stood as a beacon of tradition and resilience, embodying the complex interplay of power and culture that defined the Indian subcontinent during this era. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich history and heritage of India's royal past.
