WHAT DOES MAHARAJAH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Maharaja

Mahārāja is a Sanskrit title for a "great king" or "high king". Rana or Maharana has been practically equivalent title to Maharaja.

The widow of a Maharaja is known as a Rajmata. The term Maharaj denotes separate noble and religious offices, although the fact that in Hindi the suffix 'a' in Maharaja is silent makes the two titles near homophones.
