Gohad State or Kingdom of Gohad was a kingdom in India. It was established by King Singhadev II in 1505.

Origin

The royal family of Gohad traces its origin to Punjab, from there the Malav-vanshi Dhaliwal (original gotra of Gohad rulers) migrated to Agra and later their first Raja conquered territories in Bairat (south of Alwar), he was Rana Jai Singh who reigned in 12th century.

History

Another attack on Gohad city was made by Faujdar Melsarao Appa of Bhilsa and Amba Ingle in 1778, the Maratha army was defeated by Jats.

Later, in the same year, Maharaja Chhatar Singh Rana invaded Lahar state of Kachwaha Rajputs. He defeated them and added Lahar and adjacent territories in his kingdom with the help of Capt. Popham.

Maharaja Chhatar Singh handed over the administration of Gwalior fort to his younger queen. Later, jealous of the success of Jat Raja, Mahadaji Sindhia planned an attack to conquer Gwalior. In 1782, he besieged Gwalior and bribed one of Maharani's trusted guards & prepared him to depart from Jat Raja along with 2000 troops. Seeing no scope of victory, Maharani committed Jauhar on 27 February 1783 and Marathas occupied the fort. The place is still renowned as Jauhar-kund in Gwalior Fort.
