To the marriage, the most ostentatious of oriental marriages, were invited the Governor-General, the Lieutenant Governor of the North-West Province, and other British&#8212dignitaries. Sir Henry Fane, the Commander-in-Chief, alone was able to come. A very colourful account of the wedding is preserved in the book <i>Five Years in India</i> written by Henry Edward Fane, aide-de-camp to the Commander-in-Chief. The R&#257&#7751&#299 became a widow in 1840: She died in November 1856.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1">Fane, Henry Edward, <i>Fire Years in India</i>.
