RĀJ BAṄSO (d. 1835), daughter of Rājā Saṅsār Chand of Kāṅgṛā and sister of Rāṇī Mahitāb Devī, was married to Mahārājā Raṇjīt Siṅgh in 1829. Said to be the most beautiful of the Mahārājā's wives, she was a patron of hill music. Rāj Baṅso committed suicide in 1835 over a typical palace trifle. Raṇjīt Siṅgh performed the cremation ceremonies with his own hands.
