Sometime back, on this list, there were questions about the new king of Bikaner. Ravi Raj Singh, 29 years old, was crowned the next king of Bikaner on 20th April, 2004. He is grandson of Raja Amarsingh who was younger brother of Karni Singh. Karni Singh was late king and was father of Narendra Singh, who died as the King of Bikaner in Nov. 2003. Ravi Raj is son of Chandra Shekhar Singh, who is eldest son of Amar Singh. Marendra Singh is survived by his wife Padma Kumari and two daughters, Siobha Kumari and Mahima Kumari. Mahima Kumari is married to Sunit Sharma and is settled in New Delhi. Ravi Raj Singh is an executive in ICICI Bank at Jaipur. He was the one who lit funeral pre of Maharaja Narendra Singh, which as per Hindu rituals, declared him as his moral successor. With best wishes, P.K.Saha --------------------------------- Yahoo!
