- Nicolas Henry travels around India to capture the history and the legends of this fascinating country. This time, he’s in Bhinai, a village at the foot of the Aravalli Mountains. He meets the Royal Family. Jahnvi is the grandmother of the family, and explains the curse that exists on her family: because of the divinity Sati, all men die between 45 and 50 years old since 5 generations. But the malediction is now broken, and her son and grandson are safe. Nicolas Henry will photograph this family considering their history, traditions and beliefs.

Sometimes TH-cam recommendations are just pure Gold. What a piece of art this is. Loved every moment of it♥️
10% but real.
Sometimes.... But very true.
I was gonna say that only✨
Agreed
Sometimes you see beautiful stuff like this and sometimes you see stuff like "watch this video and you'll literally breath air!!"
Just a single photograph but captured and told the story of hundreds of years. Beautiful.
One of the strongest photographs that I've ever come across.
Indeed, a very Powerful story told thru this one frame. Well said.

Wowow as an indian i feel so happy that our little slice of history was documented and treated with respect and created into an art! Thank you so much
Did you see that a 70+ year old man touched feets of the prince and princess just because they were royals...... Its a shame that how Rajput rulers treat common man......
@@ashutoshsinghvi2165 True.... Royals think ordinary people a slave to them.
@@ashutoshsinghvi2165 Most of the rajputs are actually lower middle class with their ancestors being related with military. The royal section isn't even 1% of them

The 'words written in Arabic' at 6.24 are actually a Hindustani/Urdu inscription (written in Perso-Arabic script). It reads : yah mahal Ilahi Bakhsh kareegar ney tayyar kiaa samat (samvat) 1941 ( trans.: this palace was made by the mason Ilahi Bakhsh in the year 1884 CE)

What an eerie photo. And that I mean as a compliment. When a photograph speaks to you, it's an example of a photography done perfectly. Social media's literally exploited the saying, every picture has a story.
Such are the photos that actually have a story and very well tells the story to any viewer.
This video deserved a praise by Capt. zaraki
@@protegedpain Reigen sama!
Bruh you have to say it's a compliment out loud?? That explains something
interesting ideal, but there has never been one photo that tells a story for every viewer, thats impossible. the truth really is, every picture tells a story "to someone" 💞

I wonder how insignificant these royalties have become post independence but their stature is not at all reduced amongst the localites and the generosity with which the royal families have shaped their livelihoods is remarkable. Thank you for documenting a forgotten gem of India, a family in which history resonates and glorious past prevails.
It's so impressive how a photograph tells the whole story of the Royal Family.. This is what's called a life in a photograph. A photo that tells many tales.
Imagine when this place was in its glory days. Must be a marvelous and beautiful sight to behold.
Sati, “She did it on her own will” is highly debatable.
True
She cursed her family
For not letting her perfrom sati
Still debatable?
@@nikhilshivansh Sati is a devi, and The lady was talking about Sati Pratha in which she said women did go on pyre on their own will. Thats what is debatable. I am Not talking about Devi Sati
@@montyjayak In this video queen is not taking about devi sati but she is talking about 5 generations ago in her family a woman followed sati paratha on her own will that's why they are referring to her as sati mata. Not all women did on their will but the woman they mentioned in this video did this on her own will her family tried to stop her that's why she cursed her family that male members of family will die young till 5 generations and queen also said till 5 generations all men in her family died before even they turned 45 or 50 her husband was of 5th generation he also died young but her son is of 6th generation and he is 50+ still alive
@@krishnavyas313 again could be a fictional story. I was more of making a statement in general for this Pratha
The Queen and the Princess are so beautiful and elegant. And there is the prince, with his tummy out, throwing his accent and just gambling on horses 🤦♀️
Exactly my thoughts
And that's a Bollywood stereotype in itself. 🤣
😂😂
Isn't he 50 years old?Or Did you expect a 19-old guy?😂
Princesses and Queen is NOT that beautiful or elegant as you speak. They're just Slim that is all.
Good stuff. The subtitles leave something to be desired. The English spoken was easy to understand, but it seems like whoever typed the subtitles had some issues. "Burned alive" not "born to live."
Indeed I was wondering the same and the deity is Sati? Sati is a ritual right?
@@adityaram2736 deity is also sati . Sati comes from mata sati who gave her life for her husband, shiv ji.
You know no one is physically sitting and typing out subtitles. It's works with voice censors.. 😁😁

For that they need to sell it to government right? Or they have to be really rich to maintain it by themselves.
The world and all its cultures are simply too fascinating to describe. I'm truly sorry I was born at a time when the Internet was not in the world. I was online from the start, but we didn't have the vast diversity we have now...and now, I'm too ill and too poor to travel to all the glorious places and cultures I watch and read about. Thank you, Slice, for bringing this into my life.
What a lovely Royal family, so friendly and warm. Loved this documentary.
I am so impressed with this photographer. Wow, amazing work depicting the whole generation of this family. Love it!
"With kindness with firmness, I used to do things my way" ❤ powerful!
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FOR DOCUMENTING THIS.... And best part was 13:48 when she was explaining those people that how important and respected you guys are.... they were feeling like so overwhelmed and emotional... Thank you so much. This artwork is just a gem you created. Lots of love.

India has beautiful palaces but the government hasn't helped these people to help maintain these beautiful structures
why would govt do it its their personal property govt maintains many palaces who have given them like umed palace in jodhpur and jaipur city palace while some kings like in udaipur made a museum out of themselves and is maintaining it by themselves and they are also the richest among three and 1/3rd of these palaces are hotels too except for jaipur palace

I don't have enough words to describe beauty of this documentary . From videography to photography every thing was phenomenal 👏👏👏great work .
Except the subtitles apparently. They put "She was born to life" when the lady actually said "She was burnt alive"
I have never ever seen such a beautiful lady like the one of royal family in Saree. One can easily get the sence of royalty through her face. Such a mesmerising beauty. ❤️
Rajasthani royals have grace.
I personally think that the Indian royalty is a lot matured & progressive compared to our criminal politicians.
In royalty you don't need to 💀 do politics for position but in politics we have to do it to gain votes and keep the seat intact

Nobody:
SLICE: She was born to life.
Woman: She was burnt alive.
Nobody did on her own will ..most of them in complusion to follow those baseless customs
@The BlackMace well, then you are very wrong brother
@The BlackMace There are several cases in India where queens set themselves on fire after the death of their husband because they knew what was going to happen with them after the death of king, the queens were treated as slaves by the next rulers, I think that may be a possible explanation of the incident
When she said that women did sati it was their will. Shivers went down my spine. Cause where I'm from sati was burnt alive against her will.... Don't know what she's talking about
@@nova692 akbar himself tried to stop many women from doing sati but they still did it same with many sikh kings
Majority of the time it was a choice of women itself with few exceptions of forced cases
Also not to forget this practice was mostly limited to western india only with few rare cases in other Northern parts
South India has no idea about this nonsense at all
this is the most beautiful documentary i’ve seen in a while

Hail Internet 😄
The men die not due to a curse but because of all the smoking, drinking and unhealthy food. A common practice among Maharajas. Lifestyle disease is also a curse.

This is silly. There are plenty of them who who. Royal or not not all die

I'would appreciate the work done by all the people involved in this episode. It signifaces the Ancient Indian culture followed by Maharajas from generation to generations. I really like the portrait that captured at end of the video. It is absolutely gorgeous. Good work guys
The writing in persio-arabic script was:
یہ محل الہی بخش کاریگر نے بنایا 1941

Translation:
This palace was made by architect Ilahi Bakhsh in 1941.
Thank you
It wasn't Arabic It was Urdu
"Ye mehel illahi Bakhsh ne tayar kia hai" meaning This palace is Constructed by Illahi bakhsh
I think you don't know the difference between language and script and he was speaking about this script and you also know that urdu does not have its own script so Urdu speakers use Arabic script for writing

Artistically profound. There are many remnants of bygone eras, families, kingdoms in India. Many are still living in a crumbling facade of these eras.
The ladies of the royal family seem so nice, likeable people! I wish there was a longer film about them
Through all the storytelling I was worried the if images would be underwhelming.. thankfully I was wrong!! The final outcome was amazing, condensed and thought provoking.. credits to the photographer, crew and the royal family.. 👏

That's one hell of an effort and soul put in a single photograph ...a great learning for some hobbyist like me to get a different perspective of photography..how story of 6 generations are covered in a single photo ... Incredible..kudos👐👏
What a picture!!! Loved the documentary. Thanks for portraying the traditions correctly. 🙌🔥
As a premature photographer, its a dream to capture such amazing setup and portraits. thanks SLICE, i am a history freak and culture enthusiast would love to collaborate with you.
A picture tells a thousand words and this one tell a thousand words with a thousands of years of history .... Incredible Work ❤️
2:00 she did not say "she was to life" what she said was "she was burnt alive" (you can trust me i am Indian and can check the "sati ritual" if you wanna check it out
If you are an indian tell me what do you know about Sati??. I hope you have read more rather than ebnabatuta , or Marxist theory.
Actually if you hear it carefully, she said "She was burnt alive, but she did it on her own will".
actually sati is an indo aryan practice
@@Aloksharma-oe1gm sati is not a practice, but an emotions of an indian women which come after the death of a person with whom she emotionally attached, he can be her son, husband, nephew etc ..for example"" Rani Bhatiyani'" had been sati on her son. So it was her own decision, and after showing that she has capable of it, society or village permit her to do so.... So it is not practice 🙏🙏
Sati is something women done it with their will because they doesnt want get abused by any other attacker.. Johar and sati both are done by womens will to protect her body even after the death. But some one get it done by forcefully.
When a women get sati because of someones atrack they might give a curse also

I just want to say that in most cases sati was not voluntary. Many woman were forced into doing it.
There are very few cases of sati in India like 1 in a million cases compare that to the witch burning trails in America which was like 1 in thousand at that time.
you know invaders used to rape women , capture them and use as sex slave , they also sold them in markets , and many were tourchered too, and if they dont burn their body their dead body will be raped , and they cannot trust others to burn their body they servants can be bribed to preserve the body for invaders , now just imagine you are one of her subjects and some barbaric invader is raping your maharani's body (dead /alive) in the open infront of all the subject , also there were many traitors who would want to use maharani and their daughters to legitimise their rule so they cant aford that too , also most troops who were loyal to the royal family died fighting with maharaja but some of the traitors would be still present in the palace and no loyal troops to protect them they have no choice but to die a dignified death so their body is not at display
ans some did out of emotion and love for her husband
Landed in Rajasthan yesterday and getting this recommendation today by TH-cam. That's a good start to my trip.

@@muskanranjan9443 as far as a I know, people with the surname "Samdarshi" are from a common ancestor, isn't it?
As Tarnicles has commented below: The 'words written in Arabic' at 6.24 are actually a Hindustani/Urdu inscription (written in Perso-Arabic script). It reads : yeh mahal Ilahi Bakhsh kareegar (craftsman) ney tayyar kiaa samat (samvat) 1941 ( trans.: this palace was built by the mason Ilahi Bakhsh in the year 1884 CE).
It's so amazing that the Maharaja hired a Muslim craftsman or mason.
This mason must be one of his loyal subjects.
As the Maharani has described, his descendant Sadik is still serving the royal family.
It also looks like there was nobody there who was able to read the Urdu script.
Rajputs had mostly very friendly relations with Muslims, the tradition continues till date, even today in Rajasthan you will find rajput youngsters almost always have a Muslim best friend. Sadly with wahabi and salafi influence, radical Islam is gaining grounds and naturally as a reaction more conflicts between Hindus and Muslims.

That Maharaja was on the sigma grindset before it was cool.
Yeah I think it was Bhagwatsinhji Maharaja of Gondal. A true gentleman and servor of his pupils. This story is interesting but less about eccentricity and more about his national pride tho (he went to showroom wearing a dhoti I think).

"She burned alive"
She burned herself
Sati was based on choice of women not every women did that
The woman made the whole SATI tradition sound complicated.
It was. Wrong but it was complex. And some (maybe a lot) were forced and not doing it could mean social ostracization.
Exactly most of the time the widows were forced to perform Sati because it became a tradition by then.
It is complicated. Before 2500 years Sati was a choice. From 1000AD to 1700 AD Sati was performed so that women don't end up in a Mughal or Nawabi Harem.
@@richardv9648 Burning yourself is never a choice. Its either force, brainwashing or manipulation. If girls were raised into believing that Sati made their lives worth it, it was never really a choice.

In Mysore, Karnataka there's a royal family that is cursed.
The members of the royal family cannot have children.
So if the current King/Queen wants kids they should adopt a child. Once this child grows up and gets married, he/she can have a child because they are adopted.
But this new child cannot have children.
This has been happening for generations and every alternate generation has to adopt.
The power that curses in those days had is spectacular
Hi pls I live in Mysore I'm a foreign I need more information on this
@@whereisrozzie have you been to Mysore palace?
Of Krishna Raja odeyar
It was he who was cursed long ago. About 2 years ago the current queen adopted a relative of hers and got him married to a girl from the royal family of Rajasthan

@@whereisrozzie it's not a song, it's a story. News shows about adoption and marriage details when it's there. But story has come from generations. That curse is said to be the reason they are not having kids

0:40 nothing hurts more than seeing this in 21st century 😓
Yes ... ofcourse this is wrong... I also belong to this society, I like my culture... But strongly apposed to discrimination. In this democracy we have freedom to belief whatever we want until our belief don't suppress or harm anyone..
Bro stop seeing this from modern yardstick. This is traditional and charismatic authority accepted by the subject and the ruler. If it is being enforced then can be deemed as illegal.
What's wrong in it ?
He is only respecting
I also go to bhinai
To meet my nani
But touch her feet !
Idk wtf is going with royals
we elder brothers/man touch feet of unmarried women as we see them as godess , i touch feet of cousin who is almost 10 years younger than me, my grandparents also touch her feet during rituals , so dont speak about things you dont know about , learn about our Rajasthani culture before commenting something out of ignorance

That final picture is just a drop in the ocean.
If he ,Nicoals, would bring whole history in one picture, I believe that room isnt enough.
Charity works - protecting people from outsiders, etc., this is what a Maharaja or Royal Family is doing in first place than enjoying pleasurous lifestyle.
Lmao kings are parasites who eat for free.get out of your delusion
Woah....loved it. I have heard the story of Maharaja who bought 23 Rolls royce & how he used them, by my father..
I absolutely loved this documentary and all of the work that the photographer put into building the props, finding the right set location to take the picture, where to place each person and why, and even choosing the right lens. When he said he must place the young boy upfront not just he was small, but because he was the future of the family is brilliant. I could tell the photographer really wanted to make sure he had shown respect to the royal family and has so much dedication for his work. It was absolutely beautiful!
For someone expecting to die before 45-50, he's very nonchalant and laid back. He should be taking care of himself.
Funfact: Raja Udaibhan Rathore of Tanaji fame was the head of Bhinai. Unlike shown in the movie, he was an honorable who died performing his knightly duties of defending the fort.
Sometimes i feel that kings were way more better than todays politicians. We were the richest nation under the kings. Democracy is a myth.Power and money matters everywhere.Atleast kings used to understand their duty toward people.

Get out of cartoon network fantasy ...lol
@@hujongmenon2643 I think u are in fantasy world of democracy. Everyone from beurocracy to top level politicians are corrupted. MP ,MLA most of the time neglect local issues and problems .

I feel like constitutional monarchy is better alternative.Its my perspective.
@@hujongmenon2643 Everyone has their opinion. Some people like democracy , some like monarchy, some like communist regime, some like constitutional monarchy like me.
Kings and queens were much more loyal for their people from today’s politicians. I have heard that when the maharaja of Marwar died nearly all the Marwaris living in the country shaved their heads. This was the respect in them for their kings.
Fantastic work by Nicolas. The concept was superb and the power of chiaroscuro was well utilized. India is a great land, combine it with an eye, like that of Nicholas and the results are breathtaking.
Just to think about being in fire alive, gives me goosebumps... Thank god Raja ram mohan ray ended sati pratha
Sati was not prevalent across all societies. In my community ie Jats if elder brother die his wife was remarried to Younger brother. That's why devar bhabhi and jeeja sali relationship is flirtatious.
Frst of all raja ram mohan Roy was a British agent he painted Sati as a norm in India society which is completely false

The prince became sattebaz 🤣 that's why he didn't even was included in the picture
Love the final photo. It looks so avant garde, a fantasy.
Bro ..I think sati was forced..reason why she cursed the family...who's curse will work when saved from killing themselves?🤔
She is correct, she cursed because she was stopped from doing Sati.
@@ranveersr8080 how did you conclude?..don't say history .coz it is what you make it and what your saying might be true...cuz you never know
@@jayakrishnanrajesh7914 I know this story, her wish for sati was opposed so she cursed the family ,however she commited sati but her curse didn't go away, there is also a saying in Rajasthani that if you stop a woman from committing sati wilfully you will be cursed by Mata Sati, I am a Rajasthani and one thing I can tell for sure is Sati was never forced just few random one two cases were popularised by RRR and his Samaj and portrayed sati as something forced upon women, sati was always women choice, you will find examples of Women leading kingdoms after husband death like Rani Nainavati, Rani Roopmati who didn't choose sati, if sati was forced they would have been also forced but not and also example of Rani Padmini committing sati to save herself from Khilji, one more story is, Amar singh was killed by Shah Jahan and his dead body was not handed over to his family, then his wife demanded her brother to bring back body of Amar singh because she wanted to comit sati with his Husband body then her brother along with few men, recovered Amar singh body.
@@jayakrishnanrajesh7914 Re-watch the video. She clearly stated that the family members opposed her Idea of becoming a sati, which is why she cursed them.
Sati is really complicated....only women who wished performed it...we have many examples of queens who didn't perform sati and led kingdoms....we also have examples of only one wife commits sati and the rest stay on or vice versa... generally sati was prevalent only in Aristocratic military families and mostly in rajasthan....
I'm a professional photographer and that's one brilliant portrait!
