This photograph was taken in the British Raj of the Raja of Rutlam. It's an excellent quality copy taken from the original glass plate. It has then been framed in a black wooden frame.

Rutlam was the premier Rajput state in the Malwa political charge of the Central India Agency. The state was originally granted to Maharaja Ratan Singh, scion of the Jodhpur House, by the Moghul Emperor Shah Jehan, for his conspicuous services against the Persians in Khorasan and quelling the rebellion raised by the Uzbeks at Khandar. 
The Raja of Rutlam is considered the principal Rajput leader in Western Malwa, and in consequence received voluntary allegiance and assistance from the neighbouring Rajput chiefs. He is also the religious head of the Rajputs of these parts and as such he decides important caste questions even between parties who are other than his own subjects.  His Highness has a salute of 11 guns.
