Churachand Singh

Maharaja Sir Churachand Singh, also known as Churachandra or Chura Chand (1886–1941), was a ruler of the princely state of Manipur under the British Raj. He ascended the throne after his predecessor Kulachandra Singh 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. In 1907, he was formally declared king, after completing education at Mayo College.

He received the title of Maharaja in 1918 and was knighted as a Knight Commander of the Order of the Star of India in the 1934 New Year Honours, becoming Sir Churachandra Singh.
