Bijagarh

Bijagarh belongs to Nimar, the country south of the Vindhya Range that includes parts of the Narmada and Tapti valleys. Historical accounts name Bija Gawli, also called Bija Singh Ahir, as a ruler in Nimar during the fourteenth century. In the following century Gawli or Ahir chiefs established small centres in southern Nimar, including the fort of Bijagarh. The Ain-i-Akbari also records Khargao as a mahal associated with Bijagarh.
