Lachhman Singh (sometimes Laxman Singh or Lakshman Singh) was the Rao Raja of Sikar from 1795 until his death in 1833.
Early life
He was born to the Thakur of Shahpura. Since Devi Singh of Sikar had no male heir, he adopted him as his son and successor.
Succession
After the death of Devi Singh in 1795, he became the Rao Raja of Sikar. His mother, Kanlotji, served as regent, and Dhabhai Surajmal was appointed as a ministerial officer.
Reign
He built the Laxmangarh Fort in 1805 and founded the town of Laxmangarh in 1807. He had the fort and city built based on the model of Jaipur. He participated in the battle of Fatehpur in 1799 and the relief of Shahpura. Jagat Singh conferred on him the title of Rao Raja. Over the years, he gained influence at the court at Jaipur and received a khillat from Jagat Singh. He seized 28 villages and the town of Khandela from its Rajas. In 1819, he paid 900,000 rupees to Amir Khan on behalf of Jaipur and received the estate of Khandela as a grant from Jaipur. He held it as an istimrari lease from Jaipur. When Jagat Singh died, his wife, Rani Bhatianiji, became the regent of Jaipur. During her administration, court intrigues became widespread, and he was always found on her side. In 1822, Rani Bhatianiji persuaded him to give up Khandela, which was restored to its rightful claimants in 1835. As compensation for building a fort at Khandela, he was granted 12 villages.
Personal life
He had seven wives. Besides them, he had eight paswans (mistresses). He had legitimate three sons: Hamir Singh, Ram Pratap Singh, and Bhairon Singh.
Death
He died in 1833 and was succeeded by his son Ram Pratap Singh.
