Bhawani Singh
Brigadier Sawai Bhawani Singh Bahadur MVC (22 October 1931 – 17 April 2011) was the Maharaja of Jaipur and head of the Kachwaha clan of Rajputs. He died at age 79 due to multi-organ failure. The title technically ended in 1971 when royal entitlements were abolished along with privy purses through a constitutional amendment. However, the erstwhile Maharaja was considered a political, cultural, and religious icon in modern Rajasthan, and he was sometimes referred to in the media by his former title, His Highness, The Maharaja of Jaipur.
