Mahipal Singh was the Maharawal of Dungarpur from 1989 until his death in 2023.
He was born on 14 August 1931 to Laxman Singh.[1] He received his education at Mayo College, Ajmer, and graduated from St. Stephen's College, Delhi.[1]
After the death of his father on 6 June 1989, Laxman Singh, who held the title of Maharawal of Dungarpur for 70 years, he succeeded him to the title.[2][3] However, he was only a namesake Maharawal, as the Government of India had abolished privileges, privy purses, and the official recognition of titles long before his succession in 1971.[4][5]
He married Dev Kumari, the daughter of Bijay Singh and granddaughter of Ganga Singh, the Maharaja of Bikaner.[6] He had two children with her: a son, Harshvardhan Singh, and a daughter, Kirti Kumari.[6] Kirti married Daivat Singh of Sirohi.[7]
He died on 19 August 2023.[1][8] His funeral rituals were held at Udai Bilas Palace, and his last rites were performed at Surpur Rajghat.[1]
