The story of the Darbhanga Raj jewellery collection is closely connected with some of the most famous royal jewels of the Indian subcontinent.

One of the most notable pieces was the Naulakha Haar of Peshwa Bajirao. According to the historical account, the necklace was originally made for around ₹9 lakh, an enormous amount for its time. As the generations of Peshwas passed, successive rulers continued adding precious stones and jewels to the necklace. By the early 20th century, its estimated value had reportedly reached around ₹90 lakh.

The necklace eventually came into the possession of the Rana family of Nepal. Maharajadhiraj Kameshwar Singh Bahadur of Darbhanga Raj, one of the wealthiest Indian princes of his time, later acquired it from the Ranas.

The Darbhanga rulers also obtained two particularly famous pieces associated with the Peshwas.

The first was the ‘Shiromani’, a remarkable single emerald reportedly around three inches long. Nana Saheb Peshwa had mounted this large emerald as a seal. The second was the celebrated ‘Peshwa Diamond’.

But the Darbhanga jewellery collection was much larger than these pieces.

A handwritten Darbhanga jewellery inventory from the 1930s records an extraordinary collection of royal jewels. Among the items mentioned are a rare pink diamond, a necklace associated with Emperor Jahangir, and jewels from Cooch Behar. The inventory gives an idea of just how extensive and valuable the private jewellery collection of the Darbhanga royal family was.

Another famous piece connected with Maharaja Kameshwar Singh is the ‘Great Moghul Emerald’. In photographs, Maharaja Kameshwar Singh can be seen wearing the enormous emerald prominently beside the handle of his sword.

What makes the Darbhanga collection particularly fascinating is that these jewels came from different royal traditions and periods — the Peshwas, Mughal court, Nepalese Rana family and other Indian princely states — eventually becoming part of one of the great private royal jewellery collections of pre-independence India.

The surviving photographs and old jewellery inventories therefore provide a rare glimpse into the extraordinary wealth and history of the Darbhanga Raj.

The painting is depicting the arrival of Sultan Ghiyat al-Din Tughlaq of the Tughlaq dynasty (1320-1413), a Turkic dynasty and 3rd dynasty to rule the Delhi Sultanate in the fortified city of Simraungarh, the Capital of Tirhut (Mithila) under the Karnats.

The miniature painting was composed by the author and eyewitness Muhammad Sadr Ala-i in his literary work titled the 'Basātin al-uns'.

Ghiyat al-Din Tughlaq invaded the fortified city of Simraungarh which was the Capital of Mithila during the reign of Karnatas. On the third day, the Tughlaq army attacked and entered the huge fort of Simraungarh whose walls were tall and surrounded by 7 big ditches.

The Last King of the dynasty i.e., Harisimhadeva left the fort and fled northwards (Bhaktapur) with his wife Devaladevi and son Jagatsinghdeva and some troops.

Harisimhadeva died in the way. His wife Devaladevi and son Jagatsinghdeva was welcomed by Rudramalla of Tripura house of Mallas in Bhaktapur who was also the de-facto ruler of Nepala Mandala and brother of Devaladevi. Later Devaladevi married his son Jagatsinghdeva to her brother Rudramalla's widowed daughter and princess Nayak Devi.
