Maharaja Yashwantrao Martandrao Mukne of Jawhar State
Maharaja (/ˌmɑː(h)əˈrɑːdʒə/[1]MAH-(h)ə-RAH-jə; also spelled Maharajah or Maharaj) is a Sanskrit title for a "great ruler", "great king", or "high king".[2]
Maharani Rudrama Devi was one the few ruling queens in Indian History. She ruled for 26 years (1263–1289) and built the Warangal fort, several major temples, dharmashalas and civic services for the poor
The female equivalent, Maharani, Maharanee, Mahārājñī or Maharajin which literally means 'Great Queen', denotes either the wife of a Maharaja (or Maharana, Maharao, Maharawal) or also, in states where it was customary, a woman ruling without a husband. The widow of a Maharaja is known as a Rajamata, "queen mother".[3]Maharajakumar generally denotes a son of a Maharaja, but more specific titulatures are often used at each court, including Yuvaraja for the heir (the crown prince). The form "Maharaj" (without "-a") indicates a separation of noble and religious offices, although since in Hindi the suffix -a is silent, the two titles are near homophones.
