Salute states (all in present India)

The gun salutes enjoyed by the states that acceded to the Dominion of India on 14th of August 1947, included the following Maharana's:

  • Hereditary salute of 19-guns (21-guns local): H.H. the Maharana of Udaipur (Mewar)
  • Hereditary salute of 11-guns: H.H. the Maharana of Barwani

Hereditary salutes of 9-guns:

Some of the rulers were granted increased gun salutes after the independence, e.g. the above-listed Maharana of Mewar (Hindu; at Udaipur, Maharajpramukh in Rajasthan) was raised to first place in the Order of Precedence, displacing the Nizam of Hyderabad and Berar (Muslim), and all 9-gun states were permitted the use of the style of Highness.
