Dayal went on to set up his own photographic studio in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, and became the official photographer of the Maharaja of Indore. He also worked as a photographer for the British government, documenting various events and landscapes throughout India. Dayal's photographs were widely acclaimed for their artistic and technical excellence. He was known for his use of natural light and composition, which gave his images a unique aesthetic appeal. Some of Dayal's most famous works include his photographs of the Taj Mahal, Victoria Terminus in Mumbai and Gwalior Fort. His photographs have been exhibited in various international exhibitions and have won several awards. Lala Deen Dayal died in 1905, leaving behind a legacy of exceptional photography that continues to inspire generations of photographers in India and around the world.
