Raghogarh estate or Raghugarh and Khichiwarais a estate of the Gwalior Residency, under the Central India Agency of the British Raj. It was a Thikana estate of about 109 km2 with a population of 19,446 inhabitants in 1901. The Parbati River marked the western border of the state. The capital was at Raghogarh in the present-day Guna district of Madhya Pradesh.
History Raghogarh State was established in 1673 by Lal Singh Khichi, a Rajput of the Khichi Chauhan clan. The founder of Delhi, Prithviraj Chauhan, also belonged to this clan. The state took its name from the fort of Raghogarh, founded in 1673 by Raja Lal Singh in 1677. Raghogarh's fortune declined due to Maratha attacks led by Mahadaji Shinde which took place around 1780. By 1818, there were disputes regarding succession in Raghogarh, which were settled through the intervention of the British authorities.
