Ujargarh

Ujargarh, later known as Deori, stands on the Sukhchain River in the wooded country south of Sagar. It was also called Ramgarh and is associated with a settlement established by a Gond ruler. The surrounding country formed part of the group of districts known as the Panch Mahal, including Garhakota and Rahatgarh. In the early nineteenth century the Scindia rulers transferred these lands to British management, as authority in central India changed hands after the Maratha wars.
