About this source
What it is
This photograph, taken in 2019, shows a bronze equestrian statue of Maharana Pratap located at Bindaal in Dehradun. The rider is shown with a raised spear atop a rearing horse, set on a stone plinth with an inscribed memorial plaque.
Why it matters
The statue's location far from Mewar, Pratap's home region, shows how his memory and reputation as a resistant warrior king spread across India long after his death. Modern memorials like this reveal how historical figures become national symbols beyond their own time and place.
Look closer
- Why might a statue of Pratap be built so far from where he actually lived and fought?
- What does the surrounding modern setting, with power lines and buildings, tell you about when this statue was made?
- What might the inscribed plaque say, and how could you find out?
