About Portrait Of Maharaj Bhupinder Singh Of Patiala Vandyk
Succeeded his father Sir Rajinder Singh upon his death, as Maharaja of Patiala. Educated at Aitchison College in Lahore, he took over the Government in 1910. An accomplished cricketer, he captained the India team that toured England in 1911. As a leader of the Sikhs in India he took an interest in Indian affairs. He showed loyalty to the British Empire by sending 28,000 of his men to fight in World War I. This lead to a further recruitment drive for volunteers. Almost 89,000 Sikhs fought for the British in the War. Singh unveiled the Southern Gateway of the Royal Pavilion in 1921, a gift from Indian Maharajas to thank Brighton for aiding wounded Indian soldiers. He was chancellor of the Indian Chamber of Princes (1926-30), and led the Indian States delegation at the Round Table Conference in London. The Maharaja lived an extravagant and opulent life of excess; he owned a fleet of custom-built Rolls-Royces and commissioned the 'Patiala Necklace' by Cartier, one of the most expensive pieces of jewellery ever made.About the Framed Prints
