Maharajah Rajaram
Rajaram Chuttraputti, Maharajah di Kolhapur, morì improvvisamente il 30.11.1870 a venti anni quando era in visita a Firenze. Fu cremato e la famiglia, nel luogo della cerimonia, alla confluenza di due corsi d’acqua – il Mugnone e l’ Arno – dove le sue ceneri furono sparse come vuole la tradizione indiana, fece erigere un monumento, opera dello scultore Fuller, con iscrizioni in italiano, inglese, hindi e punjabi. Il luogo è al limite estremo del parco delle Cascine, ed è appunto chiamato “L’Indiano”; dal centro città può essere raggiunto solo a piedi o in bicicletta, oppure con l’autobus n.17 che ha il capolinea a metà del Parco delle Cascine, in auto si può arrivare vicino passando dal cimitero di Peretola e poi proseguire a piedi.
