ETERNAL MEWAR: AN OVERVIEW The House of Mewar, acknowledged as the world's oldest-serving dynasty, has faced challenges, which have tested the maintenance of the Custodianship form of governance and the Custodian's commitment to carry on serving as The Diwan of Shree Eklingnath ji. In 1947 with India's Independence and again in 1971, with the abolition of Princely Privileges, the office of the Custodian necessitated reinventions. In 1984 the mantle of 76th Custodian devolved upon Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar of Udaipur.

THE CHAIRMAN & MANAGING TRUSTEE OF MMCF The founding of ' The State of Mewar ' and its governance is rooted in the solemn decree, of Maharishi Harit Rashi , the guru to Bapa Rawal and the founding father of 'Family Mewar '; that he will administrate the State of Mewar as a ' Diwan' (prime minister) and not as a ' King'. As per this commitment, succeeding head of the family of Mewar have always fulfilled the sacred position as trustee of Shree Eklingnath ji, a manifestation of Lord Shiva who is the Eternal Ruler of Mewar. All the successors of Bapa Rawal are hereditary 'Diwans' of Shree Eklingnath ji and Trustees of Mewar.
