The funeral of Vijay Raj, a senior member of the historic Mewar dynasty, was conducted today at the Mahasatiyaji shrine in Udaipur. The ceremony was attended by the Rajmata of Mewar, who personally oversaw the rites.
A royal guard, dressed in traditional attire, formed an honour guard around the pyre, reflecting the ceremonial protocols observed by the erstwhile princely family. The rites followed Hindu customs, with the chanting of mantras and the lighting of the funeral pyre.
The Rajmata’s presence underscored the solemnity of the occasion, as she offered final prayers and a farewell to the departed. Local residents and members of the royal household gathered to pay their respects, observing the proceedings with reverence.
Vijay Raj’s passing marks the loss of a respected figure within the Mewar lineage, though specific details of his contributions were not disclosed in the official statement. The funeral concluded with the customary dispersal of ashes at the shrine’s sacred grounds.
The event, while private, attracted media attention due to the involvement of the royal family and the traditional rites performed at a historic site in Udaipur.
