Bishan Singh of Maihar

Upon the death of his father, Durjan Singh, in 1826, his dominions were divided into two portions: Maihar and Bijairaghogarh.^[1] Bishan Singh received the former, while his brother, Prag Das, got the latter.^[1] Over time, he fell into serious debt and requested the British in 1849 to place his state under their management.^[2] He died a year later in 1850, and was succeeded by his son, Mohan Prasad, to his title, rank, and dignity.^[3]
