Maharana Kumbha (Maharana Kumbhakarna Singh) of Mewar (ruled 1433โ€“1468) was not only a powerful ruler but also a great scholar, poet, and patron of arts and architecture. He is credited with authoring several important works on music, including the monumental *Sangitaraja* (King of Music), *Sangita Mimansa* (Investigation of Music), and *Sudha Prabandha* (Treatise on the Essence).
Maharana Kumbha’s contributions to music theory and practice were significant. *Sangitaraja* is considered one of the most comprehensive treatises on Indian music from the medieval period, covering various aspects like raga, tala, instruments, and performance.
