Biography

Victoria (Alexandrina Victoria; 24 May 1819 – 22 January 1901) was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 20 June 1837 until her death in 1901. Her reign of 63 years and 216 days, which was longer than those of any of her predecessors, constituted the Victorian era, a period of industrial, political, scientific, and military change within the United Kingdom marked by a great expansion of the British Empire. In 1876, the British parliament voted to grant her the additional title of Empress of India. Victoria was the daughter of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, who was the fourth son of King George III. After the deaths of her father and grandfather in 1820, she was raised under close supervision by her mother, Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, and her comptroller, John Conroy. She inherited the throne aged 18 after her father's three elder brothers died without surviving legitimate issue. Victoria attempted privately to influence government policy and ministerial appointments; publicly, she became a national icon who was identified with strict standards of personal morality. Victoria married her maternal first cousin, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, in 1840. Their nine children married into royal and noble families across the continent, earning Victoria the sobriquet "grandmother of Europe". After Albert's death in 1861, Victoria plunged into deep mourning and avoided public appearances. As a result of her seclusion, British republicanism temporarily gained strength, but in the latter half of her reign, her popularity recovered. Her Golden and Diamond jubilees were times of public celebration. Victoria died at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight, at the age of 81. The last British monarch of the House of Hanover, she was succeeded by her son Edward VII.

Queen Victoria, 1819–1901, by Bassano, 1882. Glass copy negative, half-plate.

This historic precinct was established circa 1830s CE by Major WH Sleeman in the central Indian town of Jabalpur (British India’s Jubbulpore). It remained lost in oblivion till, almost 175 years later, after much research, it was discovered by Beohar Dr Anupam Sinha - a biotechnologist who worked in UK and Canada. Arguably one of the world’s largest seamless carpet was hand-woven by Indian artisans in this precinct in circa 1880s CE. Initially, the entire precinct was a Reformatory School for highly-skilled dependents of outlawed Thugs (meaning: deceivers). Later, the main building was renamed School of Industry (or Industrial School). At present, the said heritage building is a part of Lalit KalaNiketan (meaning: abode of arts) Campus whereas its workshops are in use by the Home Guards. The incomparable sesquicentennial carpet is conserved in England and continues to adorn the Waterloo Chamber in London’s Windsor Castle of the British Monarch. This priceless carpet was one of the most precious gift that Queen Victoria received on the occasion of 50th anniversary of her reign, and when she was proclaimed The Empress of India.
