Kutch Dynasty

Kutch’s 1,000-year-old Jadeja dynasty is likely to cease to exist after the death of Maharaja of Kutch, Maharrao Pragmalji III due to COVID-19 complications on May 28. Survived by a brother, a sister and wife Maharani Priti Devi (the Princess of erstwhile state of Tripura), the titular childless figure failed to appoint an apparent heir. Reportedly, the Maharrao willed that the title should cease to exist with him.
