Thakur ji, i have just copied the material collected by shri Avtar

Singh Gill. retd Sessions judge.

contd....Raja Dhiyan singh went to mai easar kaur and said to her to

pray for longevity of life and glory and permenance of the kingship

and kingdom with respect to kanwar ji (nau nihal singh)after that

while the lady was going to burn alive with the blessed head of the

sarkar on her thigh, the raja ji requested her with great humility

to hand over the tussle (kalgi) which was fixed upon the blessed

head of the sarkar to kanwarji, remarking that it would be a cause

of increasing the degrees of his kingship and imparting progress to

his life and prosperity. But the aforesaid lady struck it against

the earth in great anger and displeasure. The other sattis did just

the same, they prayed to god that the person who had perpetuated

cruelty on the maharaja, deprived him of all authority and power in

the state and had ultimately brought his end should also not enjoy

sovereignty and should leave the world in the same way . …. After

lighting the pyre…….. as the kunwar, made a momentary halt and

called for water to drink, as he wanted to be relived from heat of

the sun and flames of funeral pyre. None was at hand and all bottles

of sacred ganges water, which had been brought to be sprinkled on

the pyre were empty. The superstitious sardars, accompanying the

promising kunwar, whispered this was an evil omen, but the kanwar

just laughed, addressing some jocular remark to his companion, and

passed on, unmindful of the catastrophe that was awaiting him and

his companion. As the entered the gateway it fell with a great crash

and the kanwar and mian udham singh were killed there.

 

Maharaja sher singh succeded him. On September 14, 1843, the most

beautiful of maharaja's maharani, Dakhno gave birth to a son.

Although in reply to the enquiries made by the maharaja, the pandit

reported that the infant's nativity was not favourable, the maharaja

spent the night in great festivity little knowing that it would be

his last night and a brutal end waited him within next 24 hours. The

next morning maharaja sher singh and his son kunwar partap singh

were killed by the sandhawaliya sardars.
