Festivals and Ceremonies Observed by the Royal Family of Kotah Rietberg Museum

A compilation of the rituals and ceremonies observed by the royal family of Kotah. This book contains 167 colour plates.
Under the patronage and with the participation of the ruler, festivals and ceremonies used to be lavishly celebrated in the former princely states of Rajasthan. Nowadays only few Maharajas and Maharaos take interest in rituals and can afford the time and expense. The royal family of Kotah, headed by H. H. Maharao Brijraj Singh, is an exception: Not only at Duserah, Divali and Holi does the entire family join in these celebrations, but even non-recurring events such as name giving ceremonies, marriages, and coronation ceremonies represent great festive occasions which are still undergone in style. This unique book with 167 colour plates is a compilation of the rituals and ceremonies observed by the royal family of Kotah. It is intended to benefit not only future generations of the Kotah family, but also those wanting to catch a glimpse behind the scenes otherwise hidden from the observer.
