The Kingdom of Raghogarh also refereed as Raghogarh State was established in 1673 by Lal Singh Khichi, a Rajput of the Chauhan Khichi clan, a branch of the clan to which Prithviraj Chauhan the founder of Delhi belonged. The state took its name from the fort of Raghogarh, founded in 1673 by Raja Lal Singh himself in 1677. Raja Lal Singh ruled Raghogarh until 1697 and was succeeded by Raja Dhiraj Singh of Raghogarh, He had great relations with Kachhwaha Rajput ruler Sawai Jai Singh Kachwaha of Amber (Jaipur) and Maharana Sangram Singh II of the Mewar. Raja Dhiraj Singh under the leadership of Sawai Jai Singh Kachwaha fought and defeated Maratha's in Battle of Pilsud along with other Rajput chiefs.[1][2]
