Bhatiyaniji (Barsalpuriji) Shyam Kanwarji of Barsalpur in Bikaner Bhatiyaniji Abhai Kanwarji of Sindhu in Jaisalmer Maharaja Surat Singh was the ruler of the Kingdom of Bikaner between 1787 and 1828.

It was during his reign that the Kingdom of Bikaner became a Princely State of the imperial British Empire.

The Khiyat ascribes his death to smallpox, but it is agreed upon by historians that he was, in all probability, murdered by Surat Singh.

He sent an emissary to Delhi in order to negotiate a treaty with Charles Metcalfe.
