Biography[edit | edit source]
Upon the death of his father, Sabha Singh, in 1752, he ascended the throne of Panna.[1][2] He was not the eldest son but was beloved by his father and ascended the throne according to his father’s wishes.[3][4] The durbar of the Peshwa of Poona recognized him and secured an agreement from him to pay Rs. 625,000.[4] His succession led to dissension within his family.[5] He constructed a temple at Chitrakoot and the parikrama (transl. a circular pathway) around Kamadgiri.[6]
He was murdered in 1758 by his brother, Hindupat, with the aid of Beni Singh.[5][7] The Gonds of the Dang-Charhas family in Chhattisgarh, who previously lived in Panna and were patronized by him, sang a song lamenting his death.[8] He is still remembered for his lavish generosity.[9] Among other gifts, he allotted territory worth one lakh for the Raj Bhog of the Chitrakoot temples.[9] He was succeeded by his brother, Hindupat Singh.[9]
