An ancient rock with the shape of human being is related with "Keechak" near village Bachai.

Form 4th century the area was under the Guptas, during which King Samudra Gupta succeed extending the areas of his Kingdom in Central India & Western part of India In 6th Century there are certain indications of padi Kingdom.


But once again History lost in vein for around 300 years. In 9th century Kalchuri Kingdom established here. The Capital of Kalchuri Rajvansh was Mahishmati Nagari near river Narmada which later established at Tripuri. As per the records of history books, Kalchuri Kingdom was expended between Gomati River to Narmada Ghat after fall of Kalchuri, The area was under control of Father & Uncle of Aalha- Udal, who made Bohani as their centre after this during 4th century ,this area was part of Raj Gond Vansh Empire.

This Vansh came to existence by Yadav Rao who laid the foundation of a strong Kingdom at a place called Garha - Katanga & started a process of strong mighty rule. One of the rulers Sangram Shah (1400-1541) had established 52 Garh, so strangest the Gond Empire. The fort of Choura Garh (Chougan) at Narsinghpur was constructed by Sangram Shah, which is still an evidence of bravery of Veerarayan . The son of Queen Rani Durgawati.

Among the followers of SANGRAM SHAH, Dalpati shah ruled for a period of 7 years peacefully.

Jat History

Ram Sarup Joon[1] writes that ....Samudra Gupta conquered the whole of Punjab and a major part of India. The clans defeated by him included


Narsinghpur has a large temple of Lord Narsingh known as Narsingh Avatar Temple . This temple was constructed by Jat Sardar in the 18th century, in which Idol of Lord Narsimha placed & worshiped & so in the name of Lord Narsimha. The village Gadariya Kheda where the temple was constructed became "Narsinghpur" after Lord Narsimha & later on it became the headquarter of the district. [2]

The Jat Sardar Rao Jagbharath Ji[3] founder of Narsinghpur was of Khirwar clan. These Jat Sardars were followers of god Narsingh. Here they constructed two temples of Narsingh avatar. Khirwar clan Jats came to this place from Brij and founded the city of Narsinghpur, where they ruled for a long period.[4]

Hukum Singh Panwar[5] has given the ancestry of Bharatpur rulers starting from 1. Yadu. Shini is at S.No. 38 and Krishna at S.No. 43 as under[6]:

34. Andhaka → 35. Bhajmana → 36. Viduratha → 37. Shura → 38. Shini → 39. Bhoja → 40. Hardika → 41. Devamidha → 42. Vasudeva → 43. Krishna → 44. Pradyumna → 45. Aniruddha → 46. VajraKhira

Vajra's elder son was Khira. After Vajra the Khira's line is separate from the ancestry of Bharatpur rulers. Khira was the originator of Khirwar Jat clan.

The study of villages near Narmada in Narsinghpur indicates that we have a village named Khireti in Gadarwara tahsil of Narsinghpur district in Madhya Pradesh. Similarly we have another village of the name Khireti in nearby Udaipura tahsil of Raisen District. This region near River Narmada was probably the habitation of King Khir in the fourth generation of Krishna of Mahabharata period. There is a need to search connection of following villages with Khir if any :

  • Tahsil Gadarwara - Khairi, Khairi, Khairi, Khairi, Khairi, Khairi, Khairi, Khairi Kalan, Khairi Khurd, Khairua, Kharirua, Khireti, Khiriya, Khiriya,
  • Tahsil Kareli: Khairi, Khairi, Khairuwa, Khiriya, Khiriya,
  • Tahsil Tendukheda: Kashi Kheri, Khairi, Khairi, Khairi, Khairi Khurd, Khairuwa, Khairuwa, Khakredi,

Narsinghpur District Inscriptions

Source - Hira Lal: Descriptive lists of inscriptions in the Central provinces and Berar,p.61

(87) Narsinghpur

The district does not contain any important metal or lithic records. In the Town hall at Narsinghpur a number of sculptures are collected. On one of these the name of that ubiquitous Jogi Magaradhaja, with the unvarying accompaniment of the figure 700, is carved. Apparently this stone must have belonged to Barehta, 14 miles from Narsinghpur, which contains perhaps the oldest remains of architecture in the District, a notice of which for the first time seems to have appeared in March 1867 in the Journal of the Antiquarian Society of the Central Provinces.

There are a few lithic records at Barha, Barmhan, Bilahra and Sainkhera, which are more or less illegible. The date on the Bilahra inscription is made out as Samvat 1374 (A.D. 1317).

नरसिंहपुर के जाटों का इतिहास

ठाकुर सत्येन्द्र सिंह[7]ने लिखा है कि 320 वर्ष पूर्व जाटों के दल राजस्थान, हरयाणा, दिल्लीउत्तर प्रदेश के विभिन्न भागों से ग्वालियर, झांसीसागर के मार्ग से नरसिंहपुर जिले के क्षेत्र में प्रविष्ट हुए थे। इस काल में पिंडारियों का आतंक था। जाटों ने उनसे संघर्ष किया और खदेड़ दिया। जाटों के उस समय तीन दल आये थे।

  • एक दल सागर के आसपास रुका और वहाँ के निवासी हो गए। इनमें से प्रमुख राजनेता श्री रघु ठाकुर हैं।
  • सागर से आगे जाटों का दल गया उसने नरसिंहपुर के आसपास के गाँवों पर कब्ज़ा किया और वहाँ बस गए। जाटों के आगमन के पूर्व नरसिंहपुर का नाम 'गडरिया खेड़ा' था 'गडरिया खेड़ा' पर निवास करते हुए जाटों ने एक विशाल नरसिंह भगवान के मंदिर का निर्माण प्रारम्भ किया। साथ ही एक किलेनुमा गढ़ी का निर्माण कराया। यह गढ़ी वर्त्तमान में राव साहब की बाखर कहलाती है। इस बाखर से दो भूमिगत सुरंगों का निर्माण करवाया जो 'श्री देव नरसिंह भगवान' के मंदिर से जुड़ती हैं। एक सुरंग से जाट राजा, जाट सरदार तथा दूसरी सुरंग से संभ्रांत महिलायें आकर नरसिंह भगवान के दर्शन करती थी, शिव भगवान को अभिषेक करती थी। नरसिंह भगवान का मंदिर 28 वर्षों में पूर्ण हुआ। इस मंदिर के पीछे 18 एकड़ में एक विशाल सरोवर बनाया गया जिसे 'नरसिंह तालाब' के नाम से जाना जाता है। ये सभी निर्माण कार्य पूर्ण होने पर लगभग 285 वर्ष पूर्व नरसिंह भगवान की प्रतिमा विधि-विधान से स्थापित की। इसी दिवस पर गडरिया खेड़ा का नाम नरसिंह भगवान के नाम पर नरसिंहपुर रखा गया।
नरसिंहपुर जिले में 23 ग्रामों में जाटों का निवास है। ये संपन्न किसान हैं अथवा छोटे-बड़े पदों पर कार्यरत हैं। जाटों का निवास वाले ग्रामों के नाम हैं - बिलहरा, चिचली, धुबघट, गडरिया खेड़ा, गाडरवारा, गोटेगाँव, जल्लापुर , कंदेली, करेली, खैरी, खापा, खुरपा, लोलरी, मेहडा, नरसिंहपुर, साली चौका, तेन्दूखेड़ा ...आदि।
यहाँ के मुख्य जाट गोत्र हैं - बम्हरौलिया, विडार, ठरऊआ, मामटे, दादाक, कुईया, दासपुरिया, नारोलिया, धौरेलिया, इन्दोलिया, किलेदार,नारा,नौनवार, रावसा, बिसोठिया, दङिया आदि हैं।
यहाँ के जाटों के नरसिंह भगवान इष्ट देव हैं इसलिए यहाँ के लोग आपस में 'जय नरसिंहजी' कहकर अभिवादन करते हैं।
राजनैतिक क्षेत्र में नरसिंहपुर जिले में जाटों का विशेष स्थान है। यहाँ के प्रमुख जाट हैं -

जाटों का आखिरी दल महाराष्ट्र के बरार क्षेत्र के जिला अकोला, अमरावती, यवतमाल आदि पहुंचे इन जिलों के अनेक गाँवों में जाटों का निवास है। नागपुर नगर निगम में चौधरी देशराज कई वर्षों महापौर के पद पर आसीन रहे हैं।

600 साल पुराना है नरसिंहपुर मंदिर

मंदिर के पुजारी प्रमोद कुमार सोनकिया के बताए अनुसार मंदिर करीब 600 साल पुराना है. जाट राजा नाथन सिंह ने इसका निर्माण कराया था. नाथन सिंह यूपी के बुलंदशहर से यहां आए थे. उस समय यहां जंगल ज्यादा था और मानिकपुर से लेकर नागपुर तक पिंडारियों का आतंक था. नागपुर के राजा ने पिंडारियों के सरदार को पकड़कर उनके हवाले करने के लिए भारी इनाम की घोषणा की थी. शरीर से बलिष्ठ और योद्धा नाथन सिंह ने पिंडारियों के सरदार को बंदी बनाकर राजा के सामने पेश किया जिस पर उन्होंने नाथन सिंह को 200 घुड़सवार और 80 गांव इनाम में दिए. जिसके बाद उन्होंने अपने इष्ट नृसिंह देव का मंदिर बनवाया और उन्हीं के नाम पर नरसिंहपुर बसाया गया है. बताया गया कि जिस जगह पर मंदिर बना है वहां पर एक संत अपनी कुटी बनाकर रहते थे. [8]

नोट: जाट समाज के लोगों ने पत्रिका की इस जानकारी को गलत बताया है। इन न्यूजपेपर वालो को नरसिंहपुर के राजपरिवार से संपर्क करने की जरूरत थी। यह लोग भरतपुरआगरा के निकट से ग्वालियर होते हुए गडरिया खेड़ा पहुचे थे। इनका गोत्र खिरवार है। यहां पीडारियों को मारकर कुलदेव नृसिंह भगवान का मंदिर बनाया इसका नाम नरसिंहपुर रखा। वो शख्स जगभरथ सिंह था ना कि नाथन सिंह। हम ने खुद 2 साल पहले राजपरिवार की सदस्य से बात की थी वो विदेश में रहती है अब। यह क्षेत्र नागपुर के मराठों से कंट्रोल नही हो रहा था। इसलिए ब्रज से गए खेनवार , खिरवार, इन्दोलिया , दुसाद व अन्य गोत्रीय जाटों ने यहां नियंत्रण किया। यह गोत्र बुलंदशहर जिले में निवास नही करते हैं। राव उदय प्रताप सिंह इन्दोलिया यहाँ से लगातर सांसद बन रहे हैं|
