Estates

The Rajgarh territory was one of the last bastions of Gaur Rajputs during the times of Mughal Emperors, Humayun and Akber, which was lost to Kishangarh in 17th century. Gaur Rajputs remained allies to Mughal till the time of Aurangzeb, whose political decisions, alienated Rathores, Sisodias, Hadas and Gaur Rajputs from Mughals.
