Get to know Indian royalty, Indian princesses


India has one of the few countries which has an extremely rich royal legacy. The Indian history is decorated with tales of prince and princesses and these have, in some way, added to our fixation with royalty. Though the 'royal' status of almost all the royal families have dwindled, their descendants continue to receive great adulation from the people of the country. Following are the top 5 Indian princesses.
