Maharaja of Gwalior

The Maharaja of Gwalior was the ruler of the princely state of Gwalior in central India, which played a significant role during the British Raj. Gwalior is known for its historic fort and rich cultural heritage. The Maharajas were influential figures in Indian history, with the most notable being Maharaja Scindia, who ruled from the late 18th century until India's independence in 1947. The Scindia family contributed to education, infrastructure, and modernization in Gwalior, leaving a lasting impact even after the abolition of princely states. Today, Gwalior remains a key cultural and historical site in India.
