1887.

The year 1887 was a very sad year for the Rajah. He lost his adoptive mother, and his dear younger son, and he himself was ill for several months. ​The most noteworthy event of the year was the Jubilee of Her Majesty the Queen-Empress, in memory of which the Rajah erected the much needed market at Bobbili. Its first stone was laid on the 20th June, and the name 'the Victoria Market' was given to it with the permission of the Government. He also sent an address of welcome enclosed in a silver casket to Her Majesty.
