Remembering Maharani Gayatri Devi

Truly said she was a real rajmata in all the senses, she has done remarkable job for the upliftment of girls.
and now all around us when we see the artificial beauty[PLASTIC BEAUTY]we can say she truly deserve to be in the list of most beautiful lady,n indeed she was.

 

HI,
my aunt was staying at the boarding school there and the education and ettiquette she recievedfrom there was awesome, i met my cousin aunt last year at a family wedding she was so elegantly dressed her way if talking, eating and walkingwas like a royal. In the MGD schools girls are taughthow to talk, walk and eat like a lady.My aunt had a great schooling and she loved her stay at the school and she got one the finest education.
hope i have answered your question
love
alpa:cheers

 

I have read The book A PRINCESS REMEMBERS

It gives a fair insight of what the life of royalty in India was like...

May her soul rest in peace.

 

Me too have read the book. Got it at a flea market for just 1 euro. This is the first book that gives a complete insight into the royal life in India and has some nice pictures. Also I read another book, a biography, about the 3 princesses (or ranis rather)... the queen of Baroda, her daughter Indira and her grand daughter, Ayesha whom we all know as Maharani Gayatri Devi.

Thank you Alpa for the wonderful information. I can just visualize what you are saying...

In other words, can we say MGD school is also kind of finishing school apart from the academic curriculum?

I was one of the privileged one to see Rajmata in an event in Jaipur. What can I say...as the whole world knows, <link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CUser%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" name="place" downloadurl="http://www.5iantlavalamp.com/"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" name="City" downloadurl="http://www.5iamas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags"></o:smarttagtype><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <wunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <wontGrowAutofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" LatentStyleCount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if !mso]><object classid="clsid:38481807-CA0E-42D2-BF39-B33AF135CC4D" id=ieooui></object> <style> st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } </style> <![endif]--><style> <!-- /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]-->[FONT=&quot]she was not just uniquely beautiful from the outside, she was a courageous and charming personality who had her own sense of style that was always purely natural.

She was never seen heavily bejewelled - she loved keeping her personal style simple and minimal. Her favourite jewellery pieces were the timeless <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Baroda</st1:city></st1lace> pearls that adorned her neck, perfectly blending in with her exquisite chiffon saris.Her make-up was never over-the-top, no heavy eye-make-up or ornate hair-dos. Just a dab of colour on her lips.

Shakambari/Traveller, can you please share some rare moments from the 'Princess Remembers'. We'd love to hear...
