Historic Importance

As can be recalled, the glorious Khangar dynasty essentially ruled the majority of the Bundelkhand regions. They had taken over the hilly areas by overthrowing Chandelas. Among the most popular rulers of the place was Maharaja Khet Singh Khangar, the founder of the Khangar kingdom. Their main capital of Khangar kingdom is Garh Kundar. They chose their seat of power as Garh Kundar, which is also popular due to its large fort. The fort was constructed by Khub Singh Khangar. Locals are aware of it even today that Khub Singh Khangar is the grandson of Maharaja Khet Singh Khangar. When the Khangar dynasty was ruling over Bundelkhand, the name of the place was actually Jujhauti. Not a lot of people are aware but Jujhauti actually means the land of warriors. The region essentially derived its name from Bundela, who succeeded the Khangar Rajputs as rulers of the region back in the mid-14^th century.
