Indian Royalty

Indian royalty refers to the former kings, queens, and noble families who ruled various regions of India before independence in 1947. These royals often held significant political, cultural, and social influence through hereditary titles and landholdings. Although their official power diminished after independence, many still retain a sense of prestige and heritage, often involved in cultural or charitable activities. Today, their roles are mostly ceremonial and symbolic, reflecting India's rich history of monarchies and princely states.
