Event Description : EXHIBITION "Travels of the Prince Waldemar of Prussia to India 1844 – 46"

An exhibition of selected lithographs on the unique trip of Prince Waldemar of Prussia (1817-1849) through India. His strong desire to explore the unknown world and to understand other cultures led him at the age of 27 to start his expedition to India, reaching Calcutta in January 1845. His field studies included Patna, Kathmandu, Benaras, Delhi, Nainital, as well as the regions of the Himalayas up to Tibet and finally Lahore, Jaipur, Gwalior, Indore and Bombay. Prince Waldemar was also drawn into the battles of the Anglo-Sikh war of 1844-45. The outcome of this journey to India comprised valuable first-hand observations and innumerable sketches, drawings and water colours.

Collaboration: Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany; and Federation of Indo-German Societies in India
