==Ruler title in British India==<br />
<br />
===[[Salute state]]s (all in present India)===<br />
The gun salutes enjoyed by the states that acceded to the Dominion of India on 14 August 1947, included the following Maharanas:<br />
<br />
*Hereditary salute of 19-guns (21-guns local): the Maharana of [[Udaipur State]] (Mewar)<br />
<br />
*Hereditary salutes of 15-guns (17-guns personal):H.H. the Maharaj Rana of [[Dholpur]]<br />
<br />
*Hereditary salute of 13-guns the Maharana of [[Rajpipla]]<br />
*Hereditary salute of 11-guns: the Maharana of [[Barwani]]<br />
<br />

*The Maharana of [[Danta, Banaskantha|Danta]]<br />
*The Maharana of [[Wadhwan]]<br />
*The Maharana of [[Sant State|Sant]]<br />
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]].<br />
