India: Painting of Maharana Sangram Singh, Maharana of Mewar (1484-1527) on horseback, 18th century

Commonly known as Rana Sanga, the Rajput Maharana Sangram Singh (born April 12, 1484) was the ruler of Mewar, which was located within the geographic boundaries of present-day India's modern state of Rajasthan. He ruled between 1509 and 1527.

A scion of the Sisodia clan of Suryavanshi Rajputs, Rana Sanga succeeded his father Rana Raimal as king of Mewar in 1509. He fought against the Mughals in the Battle of Khanwa, which ended with Mughal victory, dying shortly thereafter, on March 17, 1527.
