    Anup Singh (IAST: Anūpa-siṃha; 1638–1698) served as the ruler of Bikaner from 1669 until his death in 1698. Like his father Karan Singh, he was a vassal of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, and participated in several Mughal campaigns in the Deccan region. He led the Mughal charge that resulted in the fall of the Golconda Sultanate, for which Aurangzeb conferred the title of Maharaja upon him. Anup Singh was a patron of scholars and painters. He collected several manuscripts and established the Anup Sanskrit Library in his capital city of Bikaner.
