A Dream Life
A dream life! Its the life of Maharani Gayatri Devi Of Jaipur. Born as a princess of the royal house Cooch Behar, blessed with imense beauty she caught the eye of the charming and immensly wealthy Maharajah of Jaipur ( One of the largest and richest state in princley India) .They had a secret romance, as the Maharajah was already twice married.The first picture is with her husband, the handsome jai (Man Singh ll) and her son Jagat. The second pic is her wedding pic. The third pic is at a polo party. Gayatri devi was one of the first maharanis to shed the purdah and go to parties and polo matches with her husband. Her life was a dream, a fairy tale depicted in her book ... "A Princess Remembers..." .
Now however, the story is different, the fairytale has become sour. (scroll down for the previous post on the Rajmata)

Around what year were these photos taken? Gayatri is really fashionable.
I just wanted to add I really enjoy your blog and your pictures here. I'm obsessed with celebrities too, and British and Jordanian royals.
Thank you chic mommy!
Gayatri Devi is 85 today, so those pics were taken when she was in her twenties or even early thirties. I wouldnt really know the exact dates.
Yes Maharani Gayatri Devi is beautiful. U should have seen her pictures at her age of 50;she still has that charm in her face.
And more than History I like War stories and the actualities behind historical places.
