Maharana Bhim Singh (10 March 1768 – 30 March 1828) was the 26th Maharana (r. 1778–1828) of the Sisodia house of Mewar and the first Maharana of the Kingdom of Mewar.^[a] He was the second son of Maharana Ari Singh II and younger brother of Maharana Hamir Singh II.^{[citation needed]}

At ten years of age Maharana Bhim Singh succeeded his brother, Hamir Singh II, who had died at 16 years of age from a wound when a rifle burst in his hand. Maharana Hamir Singh II had ruled an unstable state with an empty treasury under a regency by Maharaj Bagh Singh and Arjun Singh and his mother Jhaliji Sardar Kanwarji of Gogunda. Maharana Bhim Singhji inherited this unstable state, after its unpaid Maratha soldiers had looted Chittor. The soldiers' depredations continued, and more territory was lost during Bhim Singh's rule.^[1] Maharana Bhim Singhji's daughter Krishna Kumari, had died by drinking poison, at the age of 16, to save his dynasty and prevent a massive war among the rajput houses of Rajputana in 1810.^[2]

Maharana Bhim Singh was unable to lead his house of Mewar as a political power in the entire Rajputana unlike his illustrious and effectual ancestors. Mewar had once been considered the strongest Rajput state because of its lengthy resistance to the foreign emperors, but by 13 January 1818, Maharana Bhim Singhji had to sign a treaty with the British East India Company, accepting their protection.^[3]^[4]^[5]

On the birth of his heir Amar Singhji, Bhim Singh along with his nobles, travelled on foot to visit the Eklingji temple, where he had an inscription engraved in the temple promulgating orders to abolish certain taxes from Charanas and Brahmins.^[6]

Upon his death in the year 1828, his four wives and four concubines committed sati as the prevalent Rajput tradition dictated.^[7]

He compelled the Maharana to call back his representatives going to Jaipur to perform the betrothal ceremony. Scindhia also attacked Udaipur and defeated the Mewar forces. On the other side Jagat Singh attacked Marwar. Krishna Kumari thus became the bone of contention between Jaipur, Jodhpur and Mewar.
