Jodhpur: Ace polo player Shiv Raj Singh, son
of erstwhile ruler of Jodhpur Gaj Singh, has been engaged to
Gayatri Kumari, the princess of Askot in Uttaranchal.
The engagement ceremony of the couple was held yesterday
at the royal Umaid Palace, sources said, adding the wedding
date was not yet finalised.
While playing polo in Jaipur in 2005, Shiv Raj Singh met
with an accident and slipped into coma due to severe head
injury. The accident confined him to bed for long, but after
recovering gradually he started to be seen at some functions.
Singh (35), who was the captain of Jodhpur Eagles Polo
Club, is credited with reviving the tradition of polo nurtured
and flourished by his ancestors.
