Bikrama Singh

[3] He was well versed in Persian, Sanskrit, and Punjabi and a very eminent musicologist a great proponent of Modern Learning and of women's education, he was the Author of "Upma Sar Granth".

[4][5] Bikrama Singh had constructed, as his personal residence, the first French inspired building in Kapurthala, the Elysee Palace.

When he relocated to Jullunder, he built for himself another residence, Bikram Hall; it has since been demolished, though the grounds, now referred to as Bikrampura, still bear his name.

His father's will, which entitled him to inherit large estates, was challenged by his brother, Raja Randhir Singh.

The lands finally vested in Bikrama Singh in the districts of Sitapur and Rae Bareli in the United Provinces (present day Uttar Pradesh) were formalized by the central government through the Bikrama Singh Estates Act 1883 (an unrepealed Act of the Government of India).
