Hindupat dynasty

Raghogarh State, also known as Raghugarh (Khichiwara), was a former princely state part of the Gwalior Residency in Central India. It was ruled by the Khichi Chauhan dynasty of Rajputs. The rulers belonged to the Hindu religion. The population in 1901 was 19,446.

Hindupat Raja Lal Singhji (1673–1697) - The founder of the state of Raghogarh

Raja Lal Singhji usually resided in Jharkon in Ahirwara in Pargana Balabhent where he happened to discover a 'saptdhat' image of Ram (Raghoji) on the top of a hill. He established this image in the fort palace of Raghogarh which he has founded in V. 1734-1677 A.D. (Magh Sudi 5) on an elevation in the village of Kotda.

Gugor Fort - Chhabra Gugor As Gugor was always in imminent danger of being invaded by the Hadas from Baran, the Kheechi rulers had been on the lookout for a more suitable and central place to make it their third capital after they had ruled from Gugor for a period of 400 years. With the transfer of the capital to Raghogarh, Gugor was added to the Thikana of Chhabra which came to be called Chhabra Gugor, as it is known at present.
