A glittering tribute to Gayatri Devi
Hoping to revive the jewellery industry that's been crippled by global recession in the past year, a special jewellery show is being hosted in Jaipur as a tribute to Rajmata Gayatri Devi.

The show is an elegant tribute to Rajmata Gayatri Devi's remarkable life journey.
Gayatri Devi, the youngest child of Maharaja Jitendra Narayan, was the last member of the royal family. Her siblings, Prince Victor Nritendra Narayan and Hitendra Narayan and Ila Devi, who was married off to the Tripura royal family, had predeceased her. -
The exhibition, which saw a large number of people from across the country, was clearly a hit among the people.
"The jewellery here is very nice. But the way they have presented Gayatri Devi's show is really very beautiful. I have always looked upto Gayatri Devi. They have presented all the stages of her life. It is really wonderful," said a visitor. -
"She was closely involved in all activities in Jaipur. Whether it's this jewellery show or vintage car rallies or the game of polo, she used to love contributing to everything. Through these photographs, we hope to showcase her entire personality," said Sudhir Kasliwal, the curator of the exhibition.
