EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1928, the Maharani of Cooch Behar, Rajrani Indira Devi, is depicted in elegant splendor as she joins Major Kunish Jung in the thrilling pursuit of the Belvoir hounds at Hungarton, near Grantham in Lincolnshire, England. The Maharani, a renowned Indian princess, is resplendent in traditional Indian attire, her sari adorned with intricate embroidery and shimmering jewels. Her regal bearing and captivating beauty are on full display as she confidently rides side-by-side with Major Jung, a British Army officer. The Belvoir Hunt, an esteemed English hunting tradition, provided an opportunity for the Maharani to showcase her equestrian skills and appreciation for the sport. The meet took place in the picturesque countryside of Hungarton, where the rolling hills and verdant landscapes served as the perfect backdrop for this extraordinary encounter. Major Kunish Jung, a distinguished figure in his own right, is seen in his hunting attire, a testament to his dedication to the sport. His keen gaze is focused on the hounds, which are hot on the trail of a fox, while the Maharani's eyes gleam with excitement and anticipation. This photograph is a striking representation of the intersection of cultures and the shared appreciation for tradition and sport. The Maharani's presence at the Belvoir Hunt underscores the global reach of British influence and the enduring appeal of hunting as a symbol of aristocratic society. The image captures a moment in time, frozen in history, where the past and the present converge, and the allure of the hunt transcends borders.
