Maharao Chatra Sal or Shatru Sal (1632–1658) was one of the most prominent and illustrious ruler of Hada-Chauhan dynasty of the Kingdom of Bundi. He built the temple of Keshavrao at Kishorai-Patan and Chatra Mahal in the upper storey of Taragarh Fort,Bundi.

He came on the throne of Bundi after his grandfather Maharao Ratan Singh, as his father Yuvraj Gopinath Singh died while Ratan Singh was still alive. He saw the imperial service with the Mughal forces as head of his Hada Chauhan rajput troop and was considered an integral part of Mughal army by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. Rao Chatra Sal was trusted by the crown prince Dara Shikoh with governorship of Delhi ,a rare privilege for a Hindu. He also served as a foster brother to princess Jahanara, Shah Jahan's eldest daughter, with whom he shared a close friendship.[1]

He remained loyal to the emperor Shah Jahan and his heir apparent Dara Shikoh during the War of Succession against Aurangzeb, despite temptations and threats from the latter. Maharao Chatra Sal being the head commander general died fighting while leading his loyal Hada Rajput troops[2] in the Battle of Samugarh in the year 1658 along with his youngest son Kunwar Bharat Singh, members of the Kota family and several other clansmen and his own family members.[3]

Chatra Sal had married Shyam Kanwar as his first queen,she was the daughter of Kunwar Dalpat Singh who was the grandfather of Raja Ratan Singh Rathore founder of a separate line of Rathores of Ratlam Sailana and Sitamau in the Malwa region, son of Mota Raja Udai Singh of Marwar.[4] She was the mother of his eldest son, Maharao Bhao Singh (1658 – 1681), who succeeded his father to the throne of Bundi.
