He was a Sisodiya Rajput and son of Rana Sanga and the elder brother of Udai Singh World War II His mother was Rani Karnavati who send a rakhi to Mughal Emperor Humayun to help her out, after the death of Rana Sanga when Bahadur Shah of Gujarat attacked Chittor.
But unfortunately Humayun could not reach Chittor in time thus Karnavati committed Jauhar inside Chittor Fort. Humayun did defeat Bahadur Shah of Gujarat and reinstated Karnavati"s son Vikramaditya Singh as the ruler of Mewar after the mass suicide. Unfortunately, Vikramaditya"s temperament had not improved even after the defeat in 1535 and, one day in 1536, he physically abused a respected old chieftain at the Court.
This led the Mewar nobles to place Vikramaditya under palace arrest, leaving the object of Panna Dhai"s love and loyalty, Udai Singh as heir-elect to the throne.
The Court appointed a distant cousin, Banvir to act as his Regent. Banvir, who considered himself to be the rightful heir to the throne knew the time was right to acting
One evening that 1537(some books writes in 1536 also), he assassinated the imprisoned Vikramaditya, then hurried towards the rawala to get rid of the only remaining barrier to his ambition, the 14-year-old Maharana-elect, Udai Singh.
