Udai Singh II of Dungarpur

HH Rai-Raian Mahi-Mahendra Shri Ravi Kul Bhushan Maharawal Sir Udai Singh II was the Ahar Guhilot ruler of Dungarpur State from the year 1844 to 1898.

Birth He was born on 22 May 1839 to Maharaj Jaswant Singh of Sabli.

Succession After the death of Maharawat Savant Singh of Pratapgarh, his grandson Dalpat Singh, who had been adopted into the royal family of Dungarpur and served as regent there following the deposition of Jaswant Singh II from 1825 to 1844, returned to Pratapgarh and ascended the throne. This raised the question of whether it would be in the best interests of both Dungarpur and Pratapgarh to unite under a single ruler. However, it was deemed unsuitable by both the Government of India at the time and the nobles of Dungarpur. For his services, in 1862, he was given a sanad that granted him the right of adoption. His early rule was generally marked by constant disputes between him and the nobles of his state, who had both civil and criminal powers within their estates.

Personal life He was married in 1855 to the daughter of the Maharao of Sirohi and had issue, a son, Khuman Singh.
