History
Summarize
Perspective
Raghogarh State was established in 1673 by Lal Singh Khichi, a Rajput of the Khichi Chauhan clan. The founder of Delhi, Prithviraj Chauhan, also belonged to this clan.[4] The state took its name from the fort of Raghogarh, founded in 1673 by Raja Lal Singh in 1677.[5] Raghogarh's fortune declined due to Maratha attacks led by Mahadaji Shinde which took place around 1780. By 1818, there were disputes regarding succession in Raghogarh, which were settled through the intervention of the British authorities.[3]
