EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Maharaja Sir Sumer Singh of Jodhpur, India, on horseback in his traditional attire, circa 1912. Maharaja Sir Sumer Singh was born on 14 January 1898 and succeeded his father, Maharaja Sardar Singh, as the Maharaja of Jodhpur on 20 March 1911. He ruled until his untimely death on 3 October 1918. The Maharaja is dressed in the full regalia of his royal position, including a multi-colored turban, a golden headdress, and a long, flowing robe. The horse, adorned with intricate decorations, complements the Maharaja's attire, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the Jodhpur royal court. Maharaja Sir Sumer Singh was a highly respected figure in Indian royal circles, known for his courage, wisdom, and generosity. He was a skilled hunter and horseman, as evidenced by his confident posture on horseback in this photograph. This image provides a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and history of the Jodhpur Maharajas, who ruled the princely state of Marwar in Rajasthan, India, for centuries. The photograph is a testament to the Maharaja's regal status and the enduring traditions of the Indian royalty.
