Rath

The country around Rath and Sarila lies in the plains of Bundelkhand south of the Yamuna. Sarila became the seat of a small Bundela principality founded by Aman Singh, a descendant of the powerful chief Chhatrasal. Aman occupied the place and built a fort in the middle of the eighteenth century. In 1807 its ruler received a British grant of villages, securing a small estate amid the changing political order of Bundelkhand.
