EDITORS COMMENTS
His Excellency Jung Bahadoor: The Distinguished Ambassador from the Court of Nepal, 1850 This photograph captures His Excellency Jung Bahadoor, the esteemed Ambassador from the Court of Nepal, during his visit to England in 1850. The visit marked a significant milestone as Jung Bahadoor was the first high-caste Hindu from Nepal to set foot in the country. Appointed as an Ambassador Extraordinary by the King of Nepal, Jung Bahadoor was entrusted with a complimentary letter and valuable presents for Queen Victoria. His mission was a testament to the diplomatic relations between Nepal and Britain during the British Raj in India. At thirty-two years of age, Jung Bahadoor was a handsome and intelligent man, with long, jet-black hair. His dark complexion and striking features made him a captivating figure in the European society of the time. He was considered one of the most influential men in Northern India, having rendered great services to the East India Company. The photograph showcases Jung Bahadoor in his rich Oriental costume, adorned with gold, diamonds, pearls, and precious stones, reportedly worth £150,000 sterling. The opulence of his attire reflected his high status and the grandeur of the Nepalese Court. During his stay in England, Jung Bahadoor visited several public institutions and even attended a performance at Her Majesty's Theatre. His visit was a cultural exchange that left a lasting impression on both the British and Nepalese people, paving the way for further diplomatic relations between the two nations.
