About this source
What it is
This photograph, taken in 2010, shows the Maharana Pratap Memorial Complex, a site built long after Pratap's lifetime to commemorate him. It includes a bronze statue of a warrior holding a spear alongside an old-style cannon on a wooden carriage.
Why it matters
Memorials like this are not primary evidence from Pratap's own era, but they reveal how he is remembered as a warrior king in later Indian history and culture. The inclusion of a cannon alongside the statue connects to the military history associated with his reign and resistance.
Look closer
- Why do you think the memorial includes a cannon as well as a statue?
- What impression of Pratap does this memorial try to create for visitors?
- How does this differ from a source actually made during Pratap's lifetime?
