Hindupat Raja Lal Singhji (1673- 97 A.D.)- The Founder of the State of Raghogarh
Raja Lal Singhji usually resided in Jharkon in Ahirwara in Pargana Balabhent where he happened to discover a 'saptdhat' image of Ram (Raghoji) on the top of a hill. He established this image in the fort palace of Raghogarh which he has founded in V. 1734-1677 A.D. (Magh Sudi 5) on an elevation in the village of Kotda.
Gugor Fort - Chhabra Gugor
As Gugor was always in imminent danger of being invaded by the Hadas from Baran, the Kheechi rulers had been on the lookout for a more suitable and central place to make it their third capital after they had ruled from Gugor for a period of 400 years. With the transfer of the capital to Raghogarh, Gugor was added to the Thikana of Chhabra which came to be called Chhabra Gugor, as it is known at present.
Lal Singhji was a brave warrior and built mansions and temples, dug tanks and baories and laid garden. He gave land to temples. Lal Singhji was the son of Raja Garibdas. Amongst his three brothers one got the thikana of Bhamawad, he is ancestor of the Rajas of Garha-Jamner, the second one got Maksudangarh, a branch of Raghogarh and Ajab Singh got Guna.
Raja Dheeraj Singhji -(1697-1726 A.D.) 2nd Raja of Raghogarh

He was the lover of learning and patronized music and painting. He got a copy of Prithviraj Raso transcribed as early as 1708 A.D. and a set of his own portraits in different aspects preserved in the archives of Raghogarh, besides paintings on subject of Rag-Ragini, Bara masa and frescoes of Ramayana and Mahabharata on the walls of Charbhujaji Temple in Dhirpur village. These rare specimens of the Raghogarh School of Malwa Paintings still await the attention of connoisseurs of art.

Hindupat Raja Jai Singh (1797-1818) - 7th Raja of Raghogarh He was 17 years old at the time of his installation in 1797. The exploits of Jai Singh have inspired heroic poetry. He was a far more famous warrior than his father Balbhadra Singh. In the words of James Tod -"The late celebrated Kheechi leader Jai Singh never took the field without the god before him. Victory of Bajrang was the signal for the charge so dreaded by the Marathas and often had the deity been sprinkled with his blood and that of the foe. He caused three images of the god to be chiseled and established in Bajrangarh, Raghogarh fort and town. Indeed this worship of Bajrang was terror to the Marathas".
During his last illness like Maharana Pratap in the care of Kunwar Amar Singh, Hindupat gave his sword and lance to Dhonkal Singh Kheechi to continue his ancestral family warfare and told him he would join him soon on his recovery. But, alas! His recovery never came. He was proud to call himself "Hindupat" and rightly so not only because his ancestors had held this title for the last 400 years from the Maharana for whom he had fought with his contingent but also because a foreign power like that of the British addressed him and his descendents as "Hindupat".
