Pratap Singh I, also known as Maharana Pratap, born on 9 May 1540, at
Kumbhalgarh Fort, 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. From 1572
until his death in 1597, he was the ruler of Sisodias of Mewar. 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.
