Wairagarh

Wairagarh was a Gond chiefdom in upper Vidarbha, centred on Vairagad fort. Gond chiefs held it together with Garbori and Rajgad after overthrowing the Mana dynasty.

Around 1422 the Bahmani sultan Ahmad Shah raided Wairagarh, leaving graves of soldiers killed in the fighting. The region was later drawn into the Gond kingdom of Chanda, whose rulers built Chandrapur and developed a revenue system. In 1751 the Maratha leader Raghoji I Bhonsle conquered Chanda, ending Gond rule over the region.
