About this source

What it is

This photograph, taken in 2010, shows a bronze equestrian statue of Rana Pratap in Udaipur, illuminated at night. The rider wears a turban and armor and carries a spear, mounted on a rearing horse set on a pale stone pedestal.

Why it matters

Udaipur was the capital associated with the rulers of Mewar, and this statue reflects how the city continues to honor Pratap as one of its most celebrated historical figures. The dramatic lighting and pose emphasize his heroic reputation in local and national memory.

Look closer

  • Why might the statue be lit dramatically at night for public display?
  • What does placing this statue in Udaipur suggest about Pratap's connection to the city?
  • How does a statue like this differ from documents written during Pratap's own lifetime?
