Suket

Suket was a Sen-ruled hill state in the Sutlej valley, with its rajas seated at Pangna. In 1337 Ban Sen ruled the state.

In 1527 Ajbar Sen founded the neighbouring state of Mandi. When Mughal power reached the hills under Udai Sen, Suket submitted and paid tribute while retaining its internal rule. During the Gurkha incursions of 1803 to 1815 and subsequent Sikh supremacy, Raja Bikram Sen II balanced the larger powers and preserved Suket's autonomy.
