Ajaigarh State

Ajaigarh State was a princely state in Bundelkhand, Central India, during the British Raj. It was founded around 1765 CE by Raja Guman Singh, a chieftain of the Bundela Rajput clan and a relative of the ruling family of Orchha State. He established the state by fortifying the hilltop settlement of Ajaigarh following the fragmentation of Mughal authority in the region. The rulers of Ajaigarh initially bore the title Raja, which was later elevated to Sawai Maharaja during the British era.

The state was part of the Bundelkhand Agency under the Central India Agency, and acceded to the Union of India in 1948. Ajaigarh is known for the imposing Ajaigarh Fort, which served as the political and military center of the state.
