Despite not being from royal lineage, Tara Devi acclimatised pretty well to the royal ways of living after her marriage with Maharaja Hari Singh in the year 1928. Maharani was simple, soft and loving, but was known for smashing the social evils.

Seen here is Maharani Tara Devi with a bunch of birds she hunted. | Sahil Rasgotra
