Tukojirao III

Tukojirao III (New Year's Day, 1888-21 December 1937) was the ruling 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 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.

The full name of the Maharaja was also "His Highness Kshatriya-Kulavatana Sena Sapta Sahasri Senapati Pratinidhi, Maharaja Shrimant Sir Tukojirao III Puar, KCSI"
