Udai Singh 1- the reckless ruler of Mewar

Udah or Udaikaran was the Mewar ruler who held a prominent position in the history of Mewar.   Son of Maharana Kumbha, he was a truly brave and courageous man who was sure that he had all the wit and power to rule Mewar by saving to from all enemies that had been looking to invade this place for longer periods of time. 

His father Rana Kumbha died when he was praying in front of the idol of Lord Shiva. Although he was so powerful and had strength to control a huge spread Empire, he was called as a very cruel ruler.

Since courage was a thing that was infused in the minds of all Rajput warriors, Udai Singh I was Rajput in all senses that he loved to be undefeatable. Mewar had witnessed a lot of proud legends that had depicted roles as sagas of the valour, freedom, and chivalry.

But these things had turned many young rulers on wrong paths, and they did not worry about anything when it comes to get the throne. This is why some say the Udai Singh was involved in the assassination of his own father for getting the power and claiming his throne.

This is why he is still remembered as a ruler who was not faithful to his own clan and had conspired to get throne at the cost of someone’s life. Since he was the son of Maharana Kumbha, he was destined to become the ruler of Mewar but because of his drive for power he could not wait and killed his father for becoming the ruler much faster. After his father’s death, Mewar did not flourish much since Udai Singh I was focused more on his power and strength ways instead of taking care of subjects in his throne. 

 He was able to rule Mewar only for a small duration of about five years and was defeated by his brother named Raimal and due to this Udai Singh had to flee from Mewar. 

For saving himself, he offered his daughter as an alliance to marry with the sultan of Delhi. But some call it fate and then Udai Singh I got struck by the lightning just before the marriage of his daughter, and then he died right there.

Because of his poor and reckless deeds, Udai Singh was never happily remembered in the history of the Mewar kingdom and was nicknamed as the “murderer”.

Rana Kumbha- a powerful and amazing ruler of Mewar

Maharana Kumbha also called as Rana Kumbha is one of the most remembered rulers of the Mewar.  He was the eldest son of the ruler Mokal Singh and Sobhagya Devi. He had to take the charge of ruling throne at the young age because his father died at young age and left a very huge empire for his son to rule.

Achievements of Rana Kumbha 

Rana Kumbha ruled Mewar for about thirty-five years and under him it was believed that Mewar saw the “golden period.”

This ruler is still the favorite among all Mewar rulers because of his ways that he ruled and solved issues of his empire. He was forward looking and made sure that he could do all things that would help in solving the problems that his subjects were facing. 

History has accounts that states this ruler was incredibly powerful and is said to have never lost even a single battle. The Rajputs then used to consider him as one and only Hindu king of that period. This was because at that time most of the Indian states and areas were under Muslim sultanate and dynasties.  

Many Muslim principalities that were powerful joined their forces because there aim was to defeat Rana Kumbha. Even if the enemies were so united, all their efforts and conspiracies would be wasted because Rana was able to handle all of them, that to single handedly without any other rulers help.  

After capturing Nagour, which was the Muslim capital back then, he established there also and titled as the “undefeated”. 

Arts and music

For many art lovers, this ruler remains a very big inspiration for all such creative lovers. Being a great scholar along with a huge patron of music, he had written extensively on music and arts.

He encouraged so many people for making sure that music was not ignored by general people and other court nobles of the Mewar. Rana Kumbha spends and devoted a lot of time for the upliftment of the Indian classical music and also for preservation of the traditions of ancient Mewar. 

Great builder

Rana Kumbha was said as the builder because under him many old projects that were left by his father were completed. He built about thirty-two Forts that include the Kumbhalgarh fort, famous Ranakpur temple and also the victory tower said as the Vijay Tower of the Chittor. While offering prayers and devotions to Shiva, he was killed in the year 1468. 

Why was Mokal Singh considered to be a very powerful successor of the Mewar dynasty?

This ruler started to take over the Mewar and started his reign from the year 1421 and ruled for twelve years till 1433.

As the son of Lakha Singh, he too was so brave just like his father and had all the wiseness to rule the area properly without losing to others.

Achievements of Mokal Singh

He was a truly wonderful person who built many structures. It is said this trait of building and construction was acquired by this ruler from his father, Maharana Lakha Singh.
In additional to forts, he designed many buildings and finished those that were actually commenced by his father. For fulfilling the duty of transforming the motherland, all successors of each king were able to fulfill this obligation with great courage.

When his father died, Mokal Singh was left as successor at very young age. Since he was too small and a minor the eldest brother made the step to take the affairs regarding rule and state in his hands. But Mokal’s mother had always doubted intentions of Choonda, who had the ruler and never liked kind of influence that he had on nobles.

After all this, Choonda left Chittor and also had to retire to Mandu that was the capital of Malwa.
Once Mokal Singh was a major, he was powerful and gained control all by his own on the state. He also had a kind of brief stint when he was a ruler of Mewar. And after this, he rose to the fame because he was one of the highly celebrated warriors belonging to his race.

He dutifully completed all those palaces that were actually started to be built by his own father. His achievements are really many, but the important ones include defeating Gujarat, Nagpur. His wise decisions and proper managing of the army led him to defeat the invasion by the Delhi Sultanate.
He also conspired to build much more aesthetic structures and did that as well. But after ruling amazingly, he died in 1433 and at very young age of just twenty-four. This led to lot of sadness and blunder in the kingdom, and his son was just thirteen years then.

History says that Mokal Singh was killed by the conspiracy and plotting by his paternal uncles because they wanted to take over his ruling areas and empire. His son succeeds him because of the kind of ruling powers he had learned from Mokal Singh.

Lakha Singh- the courageous ruler of Mewar

The third ruler of Mewar dynasty was called Maharana Lakha Singh. He ruled for many years from 1382 uptill 1421.

Married for many times, this ruler had eight sons that were recorded according to the history accounts. His son was named Mokal Singh who became the fourth king in the year 1421 after his father’s death.

During his rule, the silver, tin mines were discovered in Jawura that helped by becoming an additional source of income for this ruler and his kingdom. After this, the place grew more and more wealth was accumulated. Seeing his power, a Marwar ruler wanted Lakha Singh to marry his daughter named Chanda. 

But Lakha Singh agreed to marry only on the understanding that son of a Rathore princess will be able to take hold and succeed his throne.   This decision proved out as really tragic in later years because it lead to domination of the Rathore. 

His achievements

He established a town that was named as Badnore in the year 1382. He built the Banjara dam over the lake Pichola. In the very next year that is 1383, Lakha Singh was able to retake the provinces on the Mewar border. He also encouraged and developed the mining of the minerals and especially zinc at the place towards the south of Udaipur called Zawara. 

It would be true to say that this ruler was one of the finest and most successful leaders in the area. He raised many ramparts for the dams and the waters. Lakha Singh constructed so many forts which are still remembered as ancient cultural heritage. The Sankhla Rajputs belonging to the Nagarchal territory were conquered by Lakha Singh. Just like father, Maharana Lakha was able to defeat Imperial army at Badnore and took them over. 

Lakha Singh became the patron of many art forms and was highly encouraging towards these. He created many crucial reservoirs and lakes and made sure to rebuild many temples and other palaces that were originally destroyed by Muslim ruler Allaudin Khilji.  In the year 1421, Maharana Lakha Singh joined the Rajput forces for out ousting the Muslims from the very holy city of the northern Gaya. But this decision was actually bad for the Lakha Singh because in this battle he got killed by the opposing rulers.

After his father Mokal Singh, Maharana Lakha was able to take over throne very courageously, and 

he ruled it wisely for a long period.
