EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures H.H. The Rani Prem Kaur of Kapurthala, formerly Anita Delgardo (Delgado), a Spanish flamenco dancer who made headlines when she married Maharajah Jagatjit Singh of Kapurthala in 1908. Born in Seville, Spain, Anita's enchanting performances had captured the attention of the Maharajah during his European tour. Their union was a cultural fusion that defied tradition, as Anita became the first European woman to marry an Indian Maharajah. The year is 1914, and Rani Prem Kaur is seen here in her regal attire, exuding grace and elegance. She is known for her humanitarian efforts, having opened a fund for the relief of widows of Indian soldiers killed in action. Her compassionate heart and selfless deeds reflect the depth of her character and her commitment to her new homeland. The Maharajah of Kapurthala, Jagatjit Singh, was an enlightened ruler who encouraged modernization and progress in his kingdom. His marriage to Anita was a symbol of his forward-thinking approach and openness to new ideas. The couple's union brought about a unique blend of Eastern and Western influences, leaving a lasting impact on Kapurthala's history. This photograph is a testament to the extraordinary story of love, culture, and compassion that unfolded between a Spanish flamenco dancer and an Indian Maharajah, forever etched in the annals of history.
