From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kshatriya-Kulavatana Sena Sapta Sahasri Senapati Pratinidhi, Maharaja Shrimant Sir Tukojirao III Puar, KCSI (New Year's Day, 1888-21 December 1937) was a Maharaja of the princely state of Dewas from 1900 to 1937. The first Maharaja of Dewas, he was granted the title by the British Government on his thirtieth birthday in 1918. However, in 1934, Sir Tukojirao fled to Pondicherry in French India, leaving his only son, Vikramsinhrao (later Shahoji II) to take charge of the state's affairs. He died in exile in Pondicherry three years later at the age of 48, and was succeeded by Vikramsihnrao, who himself abdicated the throne in 1946 to become Shahoji II of Kolhapur.
