Maharaja : the Splendour of India's Royal Courts

10 Oct 2009-17 Jan 2010

V&A
London SW7 2RL

Overview

The word 'maharaja' (literally 'great king') conjures up images of fantasy and spectacle. The heyday of the maharajas began in earnest after the collapse of the Mughal empire in the early 18th century. The exhibition will open with this period of chaos and adventure and will close at the end of British rule in 1947, when Indian princes acceded their territories into the modern states of India and Pakistan. Tickets £11, concessions available.
