Tara Devi (22 January 1911 – 8 December 1946), born Eugenie Grosup, was a Czech actress and dancer who became the sixth wife of Maharajah Jagatjit Singh of Kapurthala, India, in 1942. They had met several years earlier in Vienna, where she played Anitra in Henrik Ibsen's drama Peer Gynt at the Burgtheater.
The couple separated in 1945, and subsequent plans to allow her passage to the United States were unsuccessful. On 8 December 1946, she fell to her death from the Qutb Minar,[a] Delhi.
