History
It is a site of Jat Rana fort under Gohad state. The monument here is the remnant of a fine temple of 10th century AD.[3] At Padhavli near Gwalior, a ruined temple from the 10th century shows a man within an orgiastic group receiving fellatio from another male.
The Jat Ranas of Gohad had occupied the fort of Gwalior and other smaller forts thrice:
- 1740 to 1756 by Maharaja Bhim Singh Rana [4],
- 1761 to 1767 by Maharaja Chhatra Singh Rana[5], [6] [7]
- 1780 to 1783 by Maharaja Chhatra Singh Rana[8]. [9]
Rana-Maratha treaty 2 November 1766
Though Rana Chhatra Singh defeated Marathas at Gohad on 2 November 1766, he still wished for treaty with Marathas for peace. Peace talks were started by Mahadji Sindhia and Nari Shankar from the side of Marathas with Chhatra Singh. Rana of Gohad agreed to pay Rs 11 lakh under the treaty out of which Rs. 2 lakh were to be paid in cash and rest in installments. [10] [11]
The 2 November 1766 defeat of Marathas by Jats enraged Raghunath Rao, who was always in search of opportunities to insult Rana of Gohad. The soldiers of Raghunath Rao seized the small fort of Bhilsa under Jats. After a fight for 2-3 days the Jat sardars in the 'Bhilsa garhi' surrendered before the Maratha soldiers. On 10 December 1766 the Maratha soldiers killed 300 Jat soldiers present in the garhi. In addition to this the Maratha soldiers also started destroying other garhis (forts) under Jats. [12] [13] [14]
The campaign of Marathas to occupy the Jat garhis compelled Rana Chhatra Singh to suppress Marathas. The Rana of Gohad re-occupied the garhis near Gohad, which were under Marathas. These include the forts at Badera, Bilhati, and Bahadurpur. He then moved to the ‘Padawli ki garhi’. [15] [16] These counter activities worried Raghunath Rao. He then requested Mahadji Sindhia to have a treaty of peace with Rana of Gohad. Mahadji Sindhia mediated for the implementation of treaty proposed after war of 2 November 1766. It got implemented on 2 January 1767. Under this treaty The Rana of Gohad paid Rs. 15 lakh to the Marathas. [17] [18]
After this treaty Raghunath Rao moved towards Karauli. [19]
