Kunwar Abhyuday Pratap Singh Nabha, in the current public interest, has begun after a royal ceremony which brought back a historic practice from Punjab's past Nabha princely state. The name of this young member of the Nabha royal family has appeared in media coverage about heritage matters, cultural topics, and Sikh tradition because people want to know his identity and importance in current times.
Kunwar Abhyuday Pratap Singh Nabha belongs to the EX-royal family of Nabha, which served as one of the major princely states during the time before India gained independence. He belongs to the Phulkian dynasty, which used to control both Patiala and Jind territories.
He publicly acknowledged his royal roots after he participated in a traditional dastaarbandi (turban-tying) ceremony, which holds major importance for both royal families and Sikh communities, and his family had not practiced this custom for more than 100 years.
Royal Family Background
Abhyuday Pratap Singh is the great-great-grandson of Maharaja Ripudaman Singh, who was the former ruler of Nabha. Maharaja Ripudaman Singh was known for his progressive views and strong association with Sikh institutions. Kunwar Abhyuday is the son of Bhanu Pratap Singh and Rani Preeti Singh, carrying forward the lineage of the erstwhile Nabha rulers.
The Nabha princely state was established in the 18th century and played an important role in Punjab’s political and cultural history. The Phulkian dynasty ruled Nabha until India became independent because the dynasty maintained connections with Sikh religious practices and regional political systems.
He received national recognition when the royal dastaarbandi ceremony was brought back to Hira Mahal in Nabha after being discontinued for 124 years. The event showed that people continued their traditional practices while maintaining their cultural identity and showing their deep respect for Sikh traditions.
Kunwar Abhyuday Pratap Singh Nabha represents the modern face of a historic royal lineage. His current absence of political authority demonstrates how the traditional cultural heritage from India’s royal families continues to affect modern times.
