Brief About
Damoh District
This place has long history dating back to ancient times excavated.
Stone Age tools found in Singrampur Valley are testimony to the
fact that this place was the cradle of human civilization and
habitat since millions of years. In more recent times, around
5th century, it was part of mighty grand empire of Guptas of Pataliputra,
It was established by the plaques and coins along with various
monuments found in the region belonging to the reign of Samudragupta,
Chandragupta, and Skandgupta. From 8th century to 12th century
some parts of the Damoh district were parts of Chedi Empire ruled
by Kalchuri dynasty from capital Tripuri.
The magnificent temple at Nohta is a Living example
of the glory of Kalchuries in 10th century. Historical evidences
also proves that some regions of the district were under the Chandels
of the Jejak -Bhukti. 14th century heralded the era of Muslim
rule in the region and stone carving at Salaiya and Batiyagarh
mention Khilzi and Tuglaq as Sultans. Later on, the Sultan of
Malwa annexed the region in to his fold. In the last quarter of
the 15th century, Sangram Shah of Gond dynasty annexed the region
into its dynamic and mighty empire consisting of 52 forts.
It was the era of peace and prosperity for the
region. In Singrampur, Rani Durgawati attained martyrdom battling
against the might of Mughal Empire represented by its General
Asaf Khan along with his army. Her zeal to retain integrity and
sovereignty of a kingdom is unparallel in world history. Bundelas
entered in to the region for a brief span after which Marathas
took over the reigns in 1732 and remains The ruler uptill Britishers
annexed Marathas kingdom after the death of Peshwa in 1888.

of Thakur Kishore Singh of Hindoria, Raja Devi Singh of Singrampur,
Pancham Singh of Karijog, Gangadhar Rao, Raghunath Rao, Mejban
singh, Govind Rao, and some others fought against the British
rule in its rebellion in 1857. According to legends Damoh got
its name from the name of the Queen of Narvar Rani Damyanti, wife
of Raja Nal.
