Maha Singh Rao

Maha Singh Rao (born 1 July 1958) is a wrestler and wrestling coach from Chirawa, Rajasthan in India.

He was the fourth son out of a family of 6 children born to Bhana Ram Yadav and Mohri devi in a small village Ghardana Khurd[3] in Jhunjhunu Rajasthan.

Maha Singh started training the budding pehlwans under the able guidance of Guru Hanuman.

After the demise of Guru Hanuman in May 1999 the whole responsibility of managing and training the young wrestlers came down on Maha singh.

Recognising his potential he was sent by the Government of India to attend the international coaching course in Budapest, Hungary in 2005.
