Air India's Maharajah |
![]() Kooka always remembered his creation with love. In an article, he mentioned that the Maharaja had been so named "for want of a better description. “But his blood isn't blue. “He may look like royalty, but he isn't royal," wrote Kooka. The Maharaja made its first appearance – not as a mascot – but as an appendage to inflight memo pads. He was instantly liked and over a period of time came to be associated with grace and luxury. To top it all, his fancy clothes, his eyes displaying satisfaction and contentment won a lot of hearts. Through the years, the slightly portly Maharaja has not only appeared in a large number of attires but also taken on different personalities—from a Parisian painter, a sumo wrestler, a Spanish matador and even a Texan oil tycoon—to announce Air India's new destinations and flights. |
