The end of a classic beauty…
Maharani Gayatri Devi, a name more or less synonymous with beauty, paused the world with her death. Beauty-elegance and what not-personified lady left the world silent with her death end by a prolonged illness. It is so unfortunate to lose such a magnanimous woman, unluckily; age was not on her side. Nevertheless, she had an exquisite life in this mighty world for 90 years.
The elegant Maharani was one such charismatic beauty who stunned the world whenever she appeared publicly. In fact, she figured in the famous Vogue magazine as one of the 10 most beautiful women in the world. Not only beauty that symbolised her, but also she was known for her political success and her pious soul. She was an active member of Swatantra Party started by C. Rajagopalachari, the former Governor General of India. She is a perfect personification of beauty with brain. Also, she proved that her beauty is not only skin-deep through her innumerable developmental works and intelligence. She justly reflected her royal blood.
As a responsible citizen of the nation, she promoted girl’s education by establishing two girl’s school in Rajasthan. Besides, she was a true lover of sports too such as Polo and Golf. She loved watching her favourite game, Polo. She developed this love as her husband Maharaja Sawai Man Singh were a religious player of it. She used to accompany him in Polo ground whenever he played. Meanwhile, the renowned actor, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan used to sneak into the ground when he was in Delhi University, only to have a glance of the Maharani! He revealed in his blog, “In her soft and pastel flowered chiffons, she used to be a picture of grace and beauty. I never imagined that one day I would get to meet this lady.”
Truly, Rajmata Gayatri Devi is a symbol of grace and beauty. She was western in mind but Indian in heart. Albeit, she used to stay in London yet she wanted to breathe her last in her own motherland. That shows how much she was in love with this nation. May God keep this marvellous lady’s soul rest in peace.
