The Maharajah of Baroda (Indian, 1938-2012) Baroda Goat painted fibreglass 100 x 60cm (39 x 23in) Exhibited: "Of Goats and Kings", Indar Pasricha Fine Arts, London, 17 June to 27 June 2009, "Of Goats and Kings and other Such Things", recent works by the Maharajah of Baroda. Other Notes: His Highness the Maharajah Ranjitsingh Gaekwad of Baroda, born in 1938, studied Fine Arts at the Univeristy of Baroda and then at the Royal Academy Schools in London, where he was taugtht by Charles Mahoney and Peter Greenham. The Maharajah was awarded the David Murray Scholarship. The Maharajah was also a musician who sang Hindustani music in concerts across India. The Maharajah of Baroda, as Maharajah of one of the five most important Indian states, was entitled to a 21-gun salute when in London. The Maharajah's father, when travelling with his wife, Sita Devi, flew his de Havilland to Croydon in 1949, with a tiger on board in the loo, which tore up the plane's carpet en route. Baroda is a paradise on the north-west tip of India, 200 miles north of Bombay. Baedeker writes that: "Its joys are its sleepy suns, mad moons, spice-laden air, harsh heat, furious flies that mist the mind and gaudy, tormented streets". The Maharajah's home in Baroda was the Laxmi Vilas Palace, four times the size of Trafalgar Square, with a swimming pool like a French cathedral. The Maharajah's elephants were decorated with diamond earrings, and the grounds of the Laxmi Vilas Palace were studded with marble nymphs between banyan trees, with one of the most beautiful cricket grounds in the world. Each year in March the Maharajah brought a flock of goats into Laxmi Vilas Palace for the Muslim festival of Bakra Eid. The goats stay indoors for a year and sleep next to humans, and are painted saffron yellow for luck. Their languid and somewhat haughty aspect has been brilliantly captured by the Maharajah. Condition is fine.
