Maharana Hammir Singh (1302–1364),[2] or Hammir (not to be confused with Hammir Singh of Ranthambore), was a 14th-century ruler of Mewar in present-day Rajasthan, India.[3] Hammir Singh, was a scion of the cadet branch Rana of the Guhila dynasty, who regained control of the region, re-established the dynasty after defeating the Tughlaq dynasty, and captured present-day Rajasthan from Muslim forces of Delhi and became the first of the 'Rana' branch to become the King of Mewar with title of Maharana. Hammir also became the progenitor of the Sisodia clan, a branch of the Guhila dynasty, to which every succeeding Maharana of Mewar has belonged.
Mewar during Rana Hammir's reign, was one of the few ethnic Indian states that had withstood the Turkic invasions. According to John Darwin "Only in Mewar and in Vijaynagar had Hindu states withstood the deluge".[4]
Mahavir Prasad Prashasti identify to Hammmir as Vanquisher of Turushkas.[5] After regaining Chittor, he built the Annapoorna Mata temple in Chittor Fort dedicated to Aai Birwadi.[6] He also built the old temple of Roopnarayan Ji in Sewantri.[7]
