Biography
[edit]Being the eldest of his father’s nine sons, Sabha Singh succeeded his father, Harde Sah, as the Raja of Panna upon his death on 6 February 1739.[1] During his reign, the diamond mines of Panna were exploited for the first time.[2][3] During his time, the state of Panna was severely weakened by war.[4] This led to significant territorial losses as many powerful nobles established independent chieftainships within its borders.[4]
He died on 28 May 1752.[1] His cenotaph stands in the village of Senia, Chhatarpur.[5] He left behind three sons: Aman Singh, Hindupat Singh, and Khet Singh.[6] Since Sabha loved Aman the most among his sons and considered him the most competent, he decreed during his lifetime that Aman should succeed him on the throne.[7] Accordingly, Aman became the Raja of Panna after his death.[7]
