Maharaja Harinder Singh Brar was the last ruler of the erstwhile princely state of Faridkot. Crowned in 1918 at the age of three, he ruled a state with immense wealth. He married Narinder Kaur and had four children — a son, Tikka Harmohinder Singh, and three daughters: Amrit Kaur, Deepinder Kaur and Maheepinder (or Mahdeep) Kaur. His only son died in a car accident in 1981, which left him deeply depressed. The Maharaja himself died in 1989.
