maharani
Hindu royal wife
A maharani is an Indian queen or princess—either the wife of a maharaja (an Indian king or prince) or a woman who rules in her own right.
The term evokes royal India before independence, with its palaces and elaborate court life: The maharani presided over the festival in full ceremonial dress.
