A "Rajah" is a title used in South Asia, particularly in India, to denote a king or prince. The term originates from the Sanskrit word "Raja," meaning "king." Rajahs historically ruled over various regions and were often part of a feudal system, where they governed territories on behalf of larger empires or colonial powers. In addition to their political role, Rajahs played significant cultural and social roles in their communities. They were often patrons of the arts, supporting local traditions, music, and architecture. The legacy of Rajahs can still be seen today in the rich cultural heritage of regions like Rajasthan and Maharashtra.
