The glitter and glamour that epitomized Maharani Gayatari Devi (considered one of the world’s most beautiful women of her times) remains an immortal image of Jaipur’s luxurious regal past.
Travelling around the world she and her dashing polo-playing husband HH Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II (‘Jai) were frequent guests at intimate get-togethers in drawing rooms across Europe and private parties thrown by kings and potentates.
Do keep in mind that Sawai Man Singh II's legacy extends way beyond polo. He brought glamour, prestige, and international recognition to Jaipur. He was the last ruling maharaja of Jaipur before the State was merged into the new state of Rajasthan in 1949.
From polo matches to gourmet picnics... from stunning jewels from Jaipur’s top jewellers to lavish banquets served off exquisite Chinaware and silver cutlery, the ease with which Jaipur’s royals and nobility slipped into the world of quiet luxury is the stuff of legends.
