The Monarch musician

"The genius of Maharaja Swati Tirunal lay in his prodigious talent and innate musical sense."

“Both intellectually and morally, he was indeed far beyond his country and equals in rank; in both respects he might have taken a high place among the most enlightened of European Sovereigns had his destiny been so cast.”
