About this source
What it is
This is a camera photograph, taken in 2012, of a bronze equestrian statue depicting Maharana Pratap riding his horse. The rider is shown in a turban and armored tunic, holding a long lance, while the horse rears on one leg.
Why it matters
This statue is a later tribute, not an image made during Pratap's lifetime, but it reflects the lasting legend of Pratap as a warrior king who resisted Mughal rule, often remembered alongside his famous horse. Such statues shape how later generations picture historical figures.
