Ajaigarh



Ajaigarh, or Adjygurh, is a former princely state of India, in Bundelkhand, under the Central India Agency. It had an area of 771 mile² (1997 km²), and a population in 1901 of 78,236. The chief, who is a Bundela Rajput, bears the title of sawai maharaja. He has an estimated revenue of about £ 15,000, and pays a tribute of £ 460. He resided at the town of Naushahr, at the foot of the hill-fortress of Ajaigarh, from which the state takes its name. This fort is situated on a very steep hill, more than 800 ft (244 m). above the town of the same name; and contains the ruins of temples adorned with elaborately carved sculptures. It was captured by the United Kingdom in 1809. The town was subject to malaria. The state suffered severely from famine in 1868-1869, and again in 1896-1897. Historical Indian regions
