Pratap Singh I, also known as Maharana Pratap, who passed away on 19
January, 1597, aged 56, Chawand, was the 13th king of Mewar, which is now part
of the state of Rajasthan in northwestern India. He was recognised for his role
in the Battle of Haldighati and Battle of Dewair and was dubbed as "Mewari
Rana" for his military resistance to the Mughal Empire's expansionism.

Maharana Pratap is revered as one of the strongest warriors India has ever
seen. Standing at 7 feet 5 inches, he would carry an 80-kilogram spear and two
swords weighing around 208 kilograms in total. He would also wear an armour
weighing 72 kilograms.
