The Maharaja’s New Clothes is a project to authentically recreate the clothing of Maharaja Churachand Singh and his Maharani Dhanamanjuri Devi for an exhibition at Alford Manor House Museum in Lincolnshire.
Alford born John Higgins served in Manipur for over twenty years, during this time his family developed close connections with the Manipuri Royal family. Inspired by a black and white photograph we set out to discover the true colours of the beautifully woven and embroidered clothes of Manipur.
Our colleagues in Manipur have already undertaken a lot of work on this project. The traditional processes of spinning, weaving and dyeing used in the creation of the Royal clothing have been carefully documented. Leading experts, including the Royal family, have been interviewed to establish the original colours and details of the attire.
