Maharaja Sir Churachand Singh KCSI CBE, also known as Churachandra/Chura Chand (1886–1941), was a ruler of the princely state of Manipur under the British Raj. He ascended the throne after his predecessor Kulachandra Singh was jailed. He was a 5-year-old boy when he was placed on the "throne on 22 September 1891," after the troubles of the Anglo-Manipur War of 1891. In 1907, "he was formally declared king," after completing education at Mayo College.
He received the title of Maharaja in 1918. And was knighted as a Knight Commander of the Order of the Star of India in the 1934 New Year Honours, becoming Sir Churachandra Singh.
