Maharaja Meidingngu Churachand, also known as Churachandra or Chura Chand[1] (1886–1941) was installed as the Raja of Manipur after his predecessor Kulachandra was jailed. He was a 5 year old boy when he was placed on the throne on 22 September 1891 after the troubles of the 'Anglo-Manipur War of 1891'.[2] In 1907 he was formally declared king, after completing education at Ajmer College.[1]
He received the title of Maharaja in 1918 and was knighted in 1934, becoming 'Sir Churachandra Singh'.[3]
