Second wedding of Sheth Kunalmalji

Second wedding of Sheth Kunalmalji

This photograph was clicked in the studio of Mohanlal using a cloth backdrop. Mohanlal was the official photographer at the court of Udaipur, and his brother Shivlal and father Tara were court painters at Mewar. Apart from the groom and his best man, one can see Jamnalalji Kothari on the left and Shobhagmalji Sethia on the right side. The groom is seen in a typical rajasthani wedding dress with a sword in the hand and elaborate headgear.
