Ajaigarh State was one of the princely states of India during the period of the British Raj. The state was ruled by Bundela clan of Rajput But later on this place was ruled by Yadav (Dauwa) kings. . The state was founded in 1765 by Guman Singh and its capital was located in Ajaigarh, Madhya Pradesh. Sawai Maharaja Punya Pratap Singh signed the accession to the Indian Union on 1 January 1950.^[1]

Ajaigarh Town, the chief town of the State of the same name in Central India, is situated at 24° 54′ N. and 80° 18′ E., at the base of an old fort. In 1901, it had a population of 4,216. The modern capital, known as Naushahr or 'new city,' lies at the north end of the rock where the fort stands and has seen significant improvements under the present chief. The town is overshadowed by the imposing fort, one of the legendary Ath Kot or 'eight forts' of Bundelkhand, which, combined with the region's rugged terrain, helped the Bundelās resist the Mughal and Marāthā armies for a long time. Ali Bahadur I of Bāndā ultimately captured the fort in 1800 after a ten-month siege. In 1803, Colonel Meiselbeck was sent to take possession according to a treaty with Ali Bahadur, but the fort's Muhammadan governor, bribed with Rs. 18,000 by Lachhman Daowa, handed it over to him instead. On February 13, 1809, Colonel Martindell seized the fort after a fierce assault, leading to Lachhman Daowa's withdrawal.^[2]
