Nihal Singh (2 October 1756 - 11 August 1775), also known as Naval Singh and Nawal Singh, was the fourth son of Suraj Mal and the regent of his nephew Keshri Singh, from 11 April 1769 till his death.[1][2]
Biography[edit]
He was appointed as the regent king of Bharatpur, since his older brother Ratan Singh had died and Ratan Singh's son Keshri Singh was only 2 and a half years old. However Keshri Singh died from chicken pox after a few years. After Keshri Singh's death, Naval Singh became the king of Bharatpur. Some people[who?] believe he died on 11 August 1775, from wounds received in battle against the Maratha; but this is not true, Naval Singh ruled Bharatpur very efficiently, but later on he renounced his kingdom and became a saint at Ram Galolaji's Ashram in Ayodhya.[citation needed]
