Maharaja Takhat Singh (r.1843-73) was granted the throne of Jodhpur after he relinquished his claim to the throne of Ahmadnagar in Idar State. Our present work shows the influence of photography which came to Jodhpur towards the end of Takhat Singh's reign, (Rosemary Crill, Marwar Painting: A History of the Jodhpur Style, Mumbai, 1997,pp.172-75).
