Maharaja Tukaji Rao II with attendant

Photograph of Maharaja Tukaji Rao Holkar of Indore (1844-1886) and a frond bearer (Chamakdhar, sovereign insignia). Tukaji Rao II (1844-1886) comes from the Hindu Marathi clan and, like Shah Jehan Begum of Bhopal, Tukaji Rao II wears a Darbar medal (1877) with the portrait of Queen Victoria. He also wears the Order of Chivalry "S.o.I" (Star of India) introduced by Queen Victoria. His neck is adorned with several pearl necklaces and on his head he wears an elaborate peacock headdress. In his right hand he holds a sword in an elaborately crafted knife sheath and the Maharaja gazes into the distance. A vase with a flower arrangement stands on the table. Behind him stands his attendant, who holds the chamakdhar (yak whisk) in his right hand as a symbol of status.
