India is often referred to as the “Land of Kings and Queens” and there exists sufficient historical evidence to testify this.

The monarchy system in the Indian sub-continent, guarded by the Himalayas in the north and sprayed by the seawater on the other sides, is said to be more than 3,000 years old. During British rule in the 18th and 19th centuries, there were over 500 princely states. They enjoyed a semi-independent status and displayed an eye-catching lavish lifestyle filled with pomp and grandeur.
