Maharajah
Indian princely title
Maharaja (also spelled Maharajah or Maharaj; lit. 'great ruler'; feminine: Maharani) is a South Asian royal title of Sanskrit origin. In modern India and medieval northern India, the title was equivalent to a prince. However, in late ancient India and medieval south India, the title denoted a king. The form "Maharaj" (without "-a") indicates a separation of noble and religious offices, although since in Marathi the suffix -a is silent, the two titles are near homophones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maharaja
