An amazing collection of photographs..,

..from a surreal era of Indian history. It was a totally ostentatious and absolutely over the top lifestyle. The pockets of the sub-continent that were these states of princely India were to a degree remnants of the Mughal Empire. It truly must have been a painstaking process to put together all the photographs. But what a collection! Going through this book really takes you back in time, some superb rarely seen photographs. Some of the photographs are from private collections and national archives.

The Unforgettable Maharajas transports the reader back in time through 150 years of Indian royalty. Fairytale childhoods, magnificent palaces and forts, luxurious lifestyles, princely pastimes "et al unfold in all their splendour through this extensively researched and lavishly produced book.
