| '''Prabhu Narayan Singh''' {{post-nominals|country=GBR|size=100%|GCSI|GCIE}} (26 November 1855 – 4 August 1931) was ruler of the [[India]]n [[Princely State]] of [[Benares State]] ([[Royal House of Benares]]) from 1889 to 1931.
| |
|
| |
|
| He was the nephew and adopted son of [[Raja]] Ishwari Prasad Narayan Singh, who was granted the title of [[Maharaja]] by the [[United Kingdom|British]] for being neutral during the [[Indian Mutiny]]. He succeeded to the Family Domains, as they then were, in 1889. Unlike his predecessors he tried to maintain good relations with the British as done by most of the large princely states, the [[British Raj]] formally recognised his territory as a Princely State in 1911.
