Princely India: Photographs by Raja Deen Dayal, 1884–1910 offers a rare and captivating visual chronicle of royal India during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Raja Deen Dayal, one of India’s first and most celebrated photographers, documented the grandeur and opulence of princely states with remarkable precision and artistry.

Through his lens, we witness an era of splendor—magnificent palaces, elaborate durbars, regal portraits, and moments of daily life in royal courts. Deen Dayal’s work blends documentary realism with an aesthetic sensitivity that elevates his photographs beyond mere historical records—they become timeless works of art.

This collection not only celebrates the photographer’s technical brilliance and unique perspective but also provides a window into the cultural, political, and architectural richness of princely India during the twilight of the British Raj.

A testament to a bygone era, Princely India preserves the elegance, dignity, and legacy of India’s royal past through the eye of a visionary photographer.
