Template:Infobox royalty Ganga Deo was the Rana of Alirajpur from 1862 until his deposition in 1871.
Reign
His father, Jaswant Singh, who died in 1862, had left behind a will according to which the state of Alirajpur was to be divided equally between him and his brother, Rup Deo.[1] To decide whether the will was to be acted upon, the Government of India consulted with neighboring Ruling Chiefs and decided that it should be set aside.[2] It was decided that Ganga Deo is the heir to the deceased and should succeed to the chiefship while suitable provision should be made for Rup Deo.[1] Accordingly, he was installed as the Rana of Alirajpur.[2] On his succession, the Government of India conferred upon him a dress of honor, and he presented them with a nazrana of 1,500 rupees.[3][4]
Deposition
He was deposed for incompetency in 1869 and the state was placed under the superintendence of Muhammad Najab Khan.[5][6] He was granted an allowance of 1,000 Rs. per month for his maintenance.[5]
Death
He died in March 1871.[4] Upon his death, his younger brother, Rup Deo, succeeded to his titles.[5]
