Maharawal Brij Raj Singh of the erstwhile Jaisalmer royal household passed away at the Medanta hospital in Gurugram on Monday.
Singh, 52, was unwell for the previous a number of weeks. He is survived by wife Raseshwari Rajya Lakshmi who belongs to the royal household of Nepal and 2 sons, Chaitanya Raj Singh Bhati and Janmejaya Raj Singh Bhati. A pall of glom descended in Jaisalmer on news of the former ruler’s demise. The flag was flown at half-mast at the Sonar fort exactly where the royal household resides. Singh was admitted to a private hospital in Jodhpur on Dec 15 immediately after he complained of stomach discomfort.
