Founders

The Jat Sardar Rao Jagbharath^[3] , founder of Narsinghpur, was of Khirwar Jat clan. Under his leadership these Jat Sardars, who were followers of god Narsingh, 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]

R.V. Russell mentions in the District Gazetteers of Narsinghpur-1906 ... The Jats came into Narsinghpur from Dholpur in Rajasthan towards the end of the 18th century. One of the first immigrants was Rao Jagannath, the ancestor of the present proprietor of Narsinghpur. He built the temple of Narsingh which gives the town its name and his success attracted others.^[5]

P.N. Shrivastav mentions in the District Gazetteers of Narsinghpur-1971 ... The District and the head-quarters town both owe their identical names to the temple of Narsimhaji, the God’s incarnation in the form of a lion-headed man, according to the Hindu mythology. After 1782, a Jat Sardar shifted from the head-quarters village of Chawarpatha pargana under the Marathas to the present head-quarters of the District, then only a village known as Gadariya Kheda and later called as Chhota Gadarwara. He occupied the Jagirdaris of Dilheri and Pithera and built a palace and the temple of Narsimhaji at this place. It was he who renamed the village after the temple. However, the District was not known then as Narsimhapur and was still known after Shahpur, the old pargana head—quarters. ^[6]

Location

Narsinghpur district is situated in the upper half of the Narmada valley between Jabalpur and Hoshangabad. On the north it is bounded by the districts Raisen, Sagar District, Damoh and Jabalpur, on the south by Chhindwara, and on the east by Seoni and Jabalpur. The bulk of the District is situated to the south of the Narmada River.

Narsinghpur Town (22° 57' N. and 79° 13' E.).— The head-quarters town of the District is on the Great Indian Peninsula line to Jabalpur, 564 miles from Bombay. Narsinghpur proper stands on the west bank of the small river Singri, and the houses on the eastern bank are really situated in a separate village called Kandeli, but are included within the municipality of Narsinghpur. The town was formerly called Chhota Gadarwara, and the name of Narsinghpur was given to it, when a temple of Narsingh (the man-lion incarnation of Vishnu) was erected by the present proprietor’s grandfather. Narsinghpur was the headquarters of the pargana, containing 230 villages, to which it gave its name. The public gardens contain some interesting sculptures collected by Colonel Bloomfield from various parts of the District, principally from Barehta. They consist of pillars, doorways, beams and figures and some old guns. The most interesting is an elaborately carved doorway set up across a path, which, with the exception of the dedicatory block upon the lintel, is in a thoroughly good state of preservation. The traces of figures on the block show that they were Rama and Lakshman seated upon Garudas or eagles. On another pillar is an inscription giving the name of the Jogi Makaradhwaj, with the figure 700, which invariably accompanies the numerous inscriptions of the name of this Jogi. ^[7]

Narsinghpur Tahsil as in 1906 - The eastern tahsil of the District lying between N. Lat. 22° 37' and 23°13' and E. Long. 79°1' and 79°38'. It is bounded on the north by the Sagar, Damoh and Jabalpur Districts ; on the east by Jabalpur and Seoni; south by Chhindwara and west by the Gadarwara tahsil. The features of the tahsil are practically the same as those of the District, it may be divided into three belts of land, the first containing the villages near the Narmada river, where the soil has been impoverished by the action of drainage and cut up into numerous ravines, the second consisting of the rich blacksoil villages which contain the best wheat-growing land, and the third the sandy and stony tract leading up to the hills on the south. Here wheat gives place to rice, kodon and kutki. The Narmada flows through the north of the tahsil, and the other principal rivers are the Sher River, the Macharewa, and the Barurewa. The total area is 1068 square miles or slightly more than half of that of the District. 186 square miles are included in Government forest.

Rivers

Aibna River - Gotegaon town of Narsimhapur Tahsil is situated on the small stream of the Aibna.

Bārurewā River - Singhpur is a large village in the Narsinghpur tahsil, 6 miles south of Narsinghpur on the Bārūrewā river.

Dudhi River (Chhindwara and Narsinghpur)

Heran River (Jabalpur-Narsinghpur, MP)

Māchārewā River (माचारेवा नदी) (Seoni and Narsinghpur) - tributary of Sher River
Narmada River - The important tributaries of the river Narmada within the Narsinghpur district are Sher River, Shakkar River, Dudhi River and Hiren River. Amongst them Sher River is one of the second largest tributary which has its two sub tributaries as Umar River joining river Sher River at the village Umariya and Barurewa River joining from the Guwari village (Lal et al, 2022). The significance of this sub tributary is that it flows North Westerly which originates from Lakhnadone in the Seoni district and meets the river Narmada at Ratikararkalan of Narsinghpur district. It is approximately 136km is length.^[8]

Shakkar River (Chhindwara and Narsinghpur)
Sher River (Seoni and Narsinghpur): forms the boundary of Gotegaon tehsil through Narsinghpur tehsil.
Sindhor River
Singri River - A small river, named Singri River, originates from a local tank in Bachai village. Narsinghpur proper stands on the west bank of the small river Singri, and the houses on the eastern bank are really situated in a separate village called Kandeli.
Sitareva River (सीतारेवा नदी) - Tributary of Shakkar River. Chichli is situated on Sitareva River, a tributary of Narmada river which originates in Chhindwara and merges into Narmada in Narsinghpur district.
Soner River
Umar River (Shri Nagar, Gotegaon, Narsinghpur) - Sher River's sub tributary Umar River joins Sher River at the village Umariya from right in Narsinghpur.

The Narmada is the centre of the drainage System. The fall in this part of its course is less than 2 feet in a mile, and in the whole length of 80 miles within the district there is only one waterfall of about 10 feet nearly opposite the village of Umaria to the north-east of Narsinghpur. Although however the characteristic vehemence of the stream is much modified in this section, yet it retains throughout the narrow basaltic bed and the high precipitous banks which are its distinctive features. Running in a confined unyielding channel through a narrow valley, its floods, are so swift and sudden as to impose serious difficulties in the way either of navigation or the diversion of its waters to canals. The Nerbudda is fed almost entirely from the south, as the watershed of the Vindhyan tableland stands little back from the southern face of the hills. Its principal affluents are the Sher River and the Shakkar River, which, with their tributaries, the Māchārewā, and Chitārewā, take their rise on the Satpura plateau and are essentially mountain torrents throughout. Their streams, rapid but irregular, pour through deep rocky channels, fringed on either hand with unbroken series of ravines. Here and there however more especially in the Shakkar and Chitarewa, their beds open out into small oases of the richest alluvial deposits, which are tilled like gardens with the finer kinds of sugarcane and vegetables. Second to these in importance are the Dudhi, Bārurewā and Soner, the latter resembling the rivers already described, but the two former differing from them in the sandy character of their channels, which are little utilised except by an occasional melon-bed. On the north the Hiran River and Sindhor Rivers are tributaries of the Narmada, the junction of the Hiran River being on the western and that of the Sindhor on the eastern border of the District. The Sindhor, for some miles before its union, forms a natural boundary between the District and Bhopal State, and similarly to the south of the Narmada the courses of the Dudhi River and Soner mark the western and eastern borders.

The smaller rivers are too numerous for separate notice, but it may be mentioned, as an illustration of the extraordinary rapidity of rise which is common to them all, that the Singri, a little stream which rises not ten miles from Narsinghpur and Kandeli, has been more than once known to inundate the town of Kandeli, and to occasion serious loss both of lite and property to the townspeople. The Shakkar also floods very suddenly, and at Gadarwara people are occasionally caught and overwhelmed while crossing its bed, which at the moment of their start may have been a stretch of sand about 300 yards wide with a small stream flowing through it. As already noticed, the passage of these rapid streams through the soft alluvial soil scores the country in the immediate neighborhood of their courses with a wide network of ravines, which render it for some distance unculturable. The Narmada, in spite of its slight fall, and Sher River with its tributary Macharewa River have the most marked systems of ravines. The Shakkar River with its tributary Chitarewa appears to be less violent. Although however the action of water on the soil is very marked in the immediate neighbourhood of the rivers, it does not, as a rule extend to any great distance from the banks, and leaves the greater part of the country unbroken and level. The rivers are of no use for irrigation, and, as the majority of them are only mountain torrents, are unsuited for boat traffic.

Archaeology

Source - Central Provinces District Gazetteers Narsinghpur District by R.v Russell, 1906, p.39-40

[p.39]: The District has few remains of interest.

Barehta, 14 miles south-east of Narsinghpur, contained a collection of fragments of statuary, most of which have now been removed to Narsinghpur and placed in the public gardens and subsequently in the town hall. They consist of pillars, doorways, beams and figures. Other sculptures are believed to have been taken to Europe and very little remains at Barehta itself. Some statues left there appear to be images of Jain Tirthankars. Barmhan, at the junction of the Nerbudda and Warahi rivers, is an important place of

[p.40]: pilgrimage and contains a number of temples and some fine flights of stone steps leading up from the river. An important religious fair is held here in January. Chauraggarh , about 20 miles to the south-west of Narsinghpur contains the ruins of the large fortified camp constructed by the Gonds and many remains of buildings inside. The place is very seldom visited. At Dhilwar and Chanwarpatha are the remains of Gond forts.

Connection with Pandavas

The tradition also connects the District with the Pandavas and other mythological heroes. The Pandava Brothers are believed to have spent a considerable part of their period of exile in this wilderness. Five kundas or small tanks are shown to the pilgrims, in a nearby island in the Narmada, as having been created and used by the five brothers during their sojourn at Barman, a village in the District. Bhima’s ‘foot print’ is also shown.

In the village Bachai, in Narsimhapur Tahsil, there is a large stone, cut into the semblance of a human face and called the head of Kichaka, who made an amorous approach to Draupadi and was slain by Bhima, the second Pandava Brother.^[9] There is a dearth of even traditional history after this stage, Whatever archaeological evidences were there in Bilheri, Kerpani and Pandava villages were removed to England, Germany and Holland by foreign explorers before 1933-34. Some of these were sent to the Nagpur Museum and the public garden at Narsimhapur. ^[10]

Prehistory

Prehistory: The earliest signs of human life in Narsinghpur were found recently in the caves of Vinaiki or Bineki Tola Unique rock paintings. Bineki Tola village (Narsinghpur) lies on the banks of Shakkar River (tributary of Narmada), in the hinterlands of Kareli Forest Zone (a part of Satpura reserve) in Narsinghpur.

Tribal village Bineki Tola, which comes under Nayakheda Gram Panchayat of Kareli Tehsil, is full of archaeological heritage for the district. Here the rock paintings of the Chalcolithic and Mesolithic period are made in the caves built on the banks of the Shakkar River. Their period has been told up to about 10 thousand years old. The rock paintings made here are made in red, ochre, and white, in which the art of warfare, animal husbandry, festivals, hunting figures and arrows, swords, spears, axes are made on the walls, as well as lions, deer, stag, wild boar, sheep. Pictures of creatures like elephant, python have also been engraved.^[11]

The axe, bow and arrows, and swords can be seen in the pictures. The rock paintings depict humans riding and playing with horses and elephants. Humans are also seen hunting animals like deers. Sheep, Wild boar, Buffaloes, and Barahsingha can also be seen. One of the rock paintings is of humans with armed axes and a peculiar headgear. Some of the paintings are of a clear red color similar to those found in Bhimbetika, while some are gray. Pictures have also been described in some script which is yet to be identified. It is within the radius of 150 kilometers from the Bhimbetka rock-shelters of Raisen and about 100 km away from Adamgadh hills.

Narsinghpur district is having many historical Rocks, which are being revered, from time to time during various archeological surveys. According to Gazetteer published by the district in the district of Narsinghpur, about 10 km away from Gadarwara, village called Bhatra certain "Fossil of animals " & apparatus mode of said stones are found during various surveys. ^[12]

During other surveys various ancients monuments & remnant are also found at Devakachhar, Dhubghat, Kumhadi, Ratikarar & Bramhanghat.

Certain Caves of rocks showing architecture of ancient times are also found at a village called Bijauri which is associated with the ancient periods of this district as well as during various service conducted on the banks of river Narmada between Bramhanghat & Jhansighat various "Fossil of animals " & ancient tools are also found showing the Historical & ancient periods of this area. According to historical portraits discovered in this area also beings reaction win periods of Ramayana & Mahabharata. According to reference, Barman-ghat is the place where Lord Bramha had done a Yagya on the sacred banks of river Narmada.^[13]

Bilthari gram of block Chanwarpatha was previously known as Balisthali. This place was known as King Bali’s place. ^[14]

A Preliminary Survey Report^[15] on Discovery of Prehistoric Sites in the Lower Reaches of River Sher, Narsinghpur, Madhya Pradesh, India was published recently. The goals of this paper include a survey of the lower reaches of the River Sher, where more than 900 artifacts and a few fossils were studied. The presence of abundant mega-vertebrate fossils and lithic artifacts from the Middle and Late Pleistocene periods has drawn much interest of numerous palaeontologists and archaeologists over the years along the Narmada basin. The present study focuses on understanding Palaeolithic localities in and around Sher River. Newly discovered sites during surveys include: 1. Tindni , 2. Dundipindrai, 3. Supla, 4. Ghatpindrai, 5. Pansi, 6. Singhrampur, 7. Bahadurpur, 8. Belkhedi, 9. Lurhata, 10. Sihora, 11. Garariya.

According to Puranas during the Mahabharata period, the Pandavas of Satdhara near Barman-ghat, river Narmada's water flow tied up in a single night. It is said that Pandavas had spend some period of their exile at this place, which is confirmed by places like Bhim Kund & Arjun Kund. A Cave near Sankalghat was also associated with Lord Adi Guru Shankracharya's place of meditations & studies.^[16]

Village Barhata of this district is a remnant of Virat Nagar of Mahabharata period. Various ancients Structures & Architectural remains found in this village leads to conclusions that this area was part of Mahabharata period. An ancient rock with the shape of human being is related with "Keechak" near village Bachai. The area of Bohani is related with Jasraj father of Alha- Udal & uncle Bachhraj, who were Kings during the period of King Prithavi Raj Chouhan. During the various Historical excavations, various ancients monuments & reference also found which relates this area with ancient periods, exact information about the area is found in history books & Historical Manuscripts from second century AD.^[17]

Satavahana Period: During second Century this area was under the rule of Satvahanas. During 4th century the area was under the Guptas, King Samudra Gupta succeeded in expanding his Kingdom in Central India & Western part of India. In 6th Century there we find some evidences of Chedi Kingdom.

The Guptas

Source - Madhya Pradesh District Gazetteers Narsinghpur District by P.N. Shrivastav, 1971,p.41-42]

The Guptas: [p.41]: After the dismemberment of the Satavahana Kingdom the history of Narsimhapur is mostly enveloped in darkness, which hides from our view the course of events. As we enter the Gupta period, a number of corroborative records lead us to conclude that this region came under their sway in the 4th Century A. D. Samudra Gupta (C.335-380 A. D.) the Indian Napoleon, as Vincent Smith calls him, is known to have carried his arms to the Southern and the Central India. In the Allahabad Pillar Inscription the proud conqueror is stated to have reduced to complete subjection (literally made servants) all the Atavikarajas, i. e., kings of the forest countries.^[18] In two inscriptions dated in the years 199 (A. D. 518)^[19] 209 (A. D. 528)^[20] of the Gupta Era, King Hastin is said to have ruled over Dabhala together with the eighteen forest kingdoms between 475 and 517 A.D.^[21]. The Dabhala or Dahala was coterminus with the Chedi Country, with its capital at Tripuri. The forest kingdoms were, therefore, contiguous to Dabhala. Another

[p.42]: Parivrajaka ruler, Samskshova (A. D. 518-528) also ruled over this region.^[22] It is not unlikely that Narsimhapur was included in one of these forest kingdoms, Parivrajaka kings were so called because they descended from the kingly ascetic Susarman. These Parivrajaka rulers were feudatories of the Gupta Emperor, Budha Gupta (A. D. 476-495)^[23]

The Kalachuris

Source - Madhya Pradesh District Gazetteers Narsinghpur District by P.N. Shrivastav, 1971,p.42-43]

[p.42]: With the downfall of the Gupta empire towards the second half of the 6th Century A. D., we again enter an obscure period in the history of Narsimhapur District. Later, in the 9th Century, the District became a part of the Kalachuri Kingdom.^[24] The Kalachuri rulers, also known as the Haihayas were an ancient race. The Kalachuris called themselves, besides the Haihayas, as Chaidyas or lords of the Chedi Country.^[25] This ruling house belonged to a well-known Kshatriya family, believed to have been descended from the Moon through Atri and Yadu. In later times, the Kalachuris claimed descent from Kartavirya Arjuna of a thousand-arms who, according to all Kalachuri inscriptions, founded this royal line and vanquished even Dasanan Ravana of the Epic fame.^[26]

The early Kalachuris had their capital at Mahishmati in the Anupa country, on the bank of the Narmada.^[27] They used the era of A. D. 248-49, called the Kalachuri Era, adopted perhaps after their conquest of Nasik and Broach regions. Three Kings of this earlier line are known, viz., Krishnaraja, his son Sankaragana and the latter's son. Buddharaja, who ruled between 550-611 A. D. Their rule extended over a vast kingdom comprising Gujarat, Northern Maharashtra and later even parts of Malwa.^[28]

A branch of this dynasty succeeded in carving out a vast principality in the Chedi Country, also known as Dahala-Mandala, with their capital at Tripuri. It extended from the Gomti to the Narmada. Vamaraja undertook this enterprise in the end of the seventh Century A.D. Kokalla I (C. 850-890 A.D.) was, however, the first king of the Tripuri line to raise its fortune and to

[p.43]: give it distinction. He was one of the greatest generals of his age. The Kalachuri inscriptions credit him with victory over many powerful kings. He is represented as having “conquered the whole earth.”^[29]

The Kalachuri inscriptions have preserved the names of fifteen more illustrious kings of this dynasty, who continued to rule from Tripuri till about the middle of the thirteenth Century. Amongst them the names of Yuvarajadeva I (C. 915-945), Lakshamanraja II (C. 945-970), who flourished in the middle of the 10th Century and was a great conqueror, Kokalla II (C.990-1015 A. D.), Gangeyadeva (C. 1015-41 A. D.), Lakshmi Karna (C. 1041-1073) and Yasah Karna (C. 1073-1123) are worth mentioning. It is not difficult to assume that inspite of the varying fortunes of the Kalachuri Kingdom. Tripuri and the adjoining region continued to be in its fold.

According to the local belief, after the decline of Kalachuri power, Narsimhapur flourished as a principality of Jashraj and Bachhraj, the father and uncle of Alha and Udal, the legendary Banapar heroes. They had their capital at Bohani village, about 20 miles west of Narsimhapur. Jashraj was the General of the Chandella king Parmal, and lost his life in defence of his master, while the latter invaded the Gaudas and was himself defeated by them. According to Cunningham these Gaudas were the Gonds of Gondwana or Phullitae Gondali of Ptolemy. In Pirthiraj Raso of Chand, Alha is credited to have conquered the whole of Gauda, Deogarh and Chanda and on whose breath (life) depended the existence of eight (chief) forts and of Kalanjar. Of these, the fort of Garha was one.^[30] A ruined palace which is ascribed to Jashraj by the local authority might have been alluded to by Chand as the fort of Garha. It is not unlikely that this family had some relation with the District.

Early History

Source - Central Provinces District Gazetteers Narsinghpur District by R.V. Russell, 1906, p.20-21

[p.20]: Narsinghpur is practically without archaeological monuments or inscriptions to throw light on its early history, of which consequently practically nothing is known. It is a natural presumption however that the District was included in the territories of the Haihaya kings of Chedi, who ruled the Upper Narmada valley from their capital of Tripura or Karanbel, where the village of Tewar now stands near Jabalpur, from a period shortly after the commencement of the Christian era until the 11th or 12th century. They had an era of their own, commencing from A. D. 249, but for the first five centuries of their rule, there remain only a few isolated facts. From the 9th to the 12th centuries a complete genealogy has been drawn up, containing the names of thirteen kings, and occasional mention of their marriages or wars with the surrounding principalities, the Rathors of Kanauj, the Chandels of Mahoba and the Panwars of Malwa. From the 12th century nothing more is known of them, and the dynasty probably came to an end at about this period.^[31]

It has been stated that during the 12th and 13th centuries, the kingdom of Malwa, then governed by a dynasty belonging to the well-known Pramaras included the western part of the Narmada valley. There is however at present no definite evidence forthcoming to show that the Hindu principality of Malwa included any part of the Narmada valley in the Central Provinces, though in later times the Muhammadan province of the same name took in parts of Hoshangabad, Sagar and Damoh. In an

[p.21]: inscription found at Udaipur,^[32] it is stated that king Vakpati of Malwa vanquished Yuvaraja, the king of Chedi, slew his generals and raised his sword on high in Tripura. This however can only have been a temporary success, as Yuvaraja belonged to the 10th century, and the Haihaya dynasty continued to reign for at least two centuries longer. It is known also that a Panwar chief or viceroy was at this time governing the Nagpur country on behalf of the Malwa kings.^[33] And further that some princes of this line penetrated to Berar and the Godavari and even to the Carnatic in the pursuit of conquest.^[34] It is not improbable, therefore, that parts of the Narmada valley belonged to the Panwar kingdom, though the conjecture is as yet unsupported by evidence.

But once again we find History lost in in darkness for around 300 years.

In 9th century Kalchuri Kingdom established here. The Capital of Kalchuri rulers 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 Kalchuris, the area was under control of Father & Uncle of Alha- Udal, who made Bohani as their centre. After this for about 4 centuries , this area was part of Raj Gond dynasty.^[35]

Raj Gond Dynasty

After the establishment of Raj Gond dynasty, area of piece & prosperity begins in this area. The credit goes to Yadav Rao (Yadurao) 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 was Sangram Shah (1400-1541) won 52 Forts (Garh) and strengthened the Gond Empire. The fort of Choura Garh (Chougan) at Narsinghpur was constructed by Sangram Shah, which is still an evidence of bravery of Veer Narayan, son of Queen Rani Durgawati.

Among the descendants of Sangram Shah, Dalpati shah ruled for a period of 7 years peacefully. After, this Rani Durgawati took the reign, & gave a proof of courage & bravery & ruled for period of 16 years (1540-1564). In year 1564 Queen died, while Fighting bravely, giving tough fight to Asiaf Khan, the Mughal General of Akbar the Great. In Narsinghpur district at the fort of Chauragarh, Asaf Khan trapped prince Veer Narayan & killed him by his Cunning tactics. Thus Garha Katanga comes under control of Mugals in the year 1564. After Gonds and Mughals the area was under control of various officers & administrative & hereditary chiefs during the Maratha’s rule. So, the boundaries of area continued to change according to the powers & influence of their people. Chawarpatha, Barha, Saikheda, Gadarwara, Shahpur, Singhpur, Shrinagar & Tendukheda were headquarters of various parganas.

The Bundela Invasion:

Source - Central Provinces District Gazetteers Narsinghpur District by R.V. Russell, 1906, p.24

[p.24]: In the reign of Prem Narayan, the grandson of Chandar Sa (1599-1610), the Mandla territories were invaded by Jujhar Singh, the Bundela Raja of Orchha. The real cause of the incursion is said to have been the omission of Prem Narayan to pay a ceremonial visit to the Orchha Raja on his way down from Delhi, but the story current in local folklore is that it was the result of the indignation of the Bundelas at the use of the cow for ploughing by the Gonds. Prem Narayan took refuge in Chauragarh, where he was for months closely besieged. On his death by treachery, the fort fell, and all the other garrisons of Garha-Mandla followed its example. Prem Narayan still lives in local tradition, and it is related how his headless corpse wielding a magic sword, the gift of the goddess Devi to whom he had offered his head, pursued the Bundelas from Chauragarh to the Narmada; and how on another occasion the Bundelas, retreating after a successful foray and having crossed the Narmada at Barmhan, said boastfully as they ascended the further bank: ‘We have singed his beard well’ ; on which, of their own accord, their cannon with teams and drivers rolled back down the bank into the Nerbudda and were lost ; after which the Bundelas came no more south of the Nerbudda. Prem Narayan’s head and body are supposed to have been turned into stone after he had cut off his head and offered it to the goddess, so that she might grant him victory, and the stones are pointed out, that representing the head being in the fort, and the body at the foot of the hill. Prem Narayan’s successor, Hirde Sa, repulsed the Bundelas and re-established his power by the aid of the Muhammadan chief of Bhopal, to obtain which, however, he had to cede territory containing 300 villages. From this time the fortunes of the Mandla kingdom gradually declined, until in 1781, the last scene of their history again took place in Chauragarh, Narhar Sa, the last king, seeking refuge here when pressed by the Maratha Subah of Sagar.

The Gond prince was betrayed and ended his days in imprisonment at Khurai, while his dominions fell into the hands of his conquerors.

The Later Raj-Gonds

Source - Madhya Pradesh District Gazetteers Narsinghpur District by P.N. Shrivastav, 1971, p.48-52

In any case the kingdom was soon after restored to the Garha kings. Chandra Shah, the next ruler obtained recognition of Akbar to his succession, by the cession of the ten districts which later formed the principality of Bhopal. At the same time, he seems to have recognised the Mughal Emperor as his over-lord, as the two princes Madhukar Shah and Prem Narayan of Garha dynasty visited the Mughal Court to pay their respects to him.^[36]

Chandra Shah’s rule lasted for a few years. He was succeeded by his second son, Madhukar Shah, who came to the throne after murdering his elder brother. Afterwards the remorse of his crime drove him madly to burn himself to death in the hollow of a dry pipal tree. The District was again the scene of historic events in 1634 A. D. When the news of Madhukar Shah’s self-immolation reached the ear of Prem Narayan, his son, who was with the Emperor, he returned post-haste to Garha, leaving in turn his eldest son, Hirde Shah, at the Court. It is said that while passing through Orchha, he failed to pay a courtesy call on Raja Bir Singh Deo^[37]. On his death-bed the offended king instructed his son Jujhar Singh to avenge the insult by the conquest of the Gond Kingdom. The story current in local folk-lore is that the subsequent conquest was the result of the indignation of the Bundelas, at the use of the cow for ploughing by the Gonds.^[38]

Consequently, in 1634 A. D., Jujhar Singh led an unprovoked attack against Raja Prem Narayan. Finding himself unable to oppose him in the field, Prem Narayan threw himself into the fort of Chauragarh where he was for some months closely besieged. The Raja in distress attempted to come to terms with the invader but Jujhar Singh declined all a such overtures. Upon this, Prem Narayan sent a messenger to Shahjahan to

[p.49]: solicit his help against the aggression. The Emperor only despatched a man to desist Jujhar Singh from his offensive against Chauragarh, but the latter discarded the suggestion with contempt. However, Jujhar pretended at last to raise the siege. He feigned weariness, withdrew his army to some distance from Chauragarh, and sent a messenger to Prem Narayan, indicating his readiness to retire from Gondwana, and asking for a meeting to settle terms of peace. Prem Narayan came out of the fort in the faith of a solemn oath and accompanied by his minister Jaideo Bajpai, proceeded to the tent of his enemy only to discover that he was the victim of a foul treachery. Vindictive Jujhar Singh immediately ordered his enemy’s head to be severed. The latter, in a fit of desperation killed his women and died fighting along with his two or three hundred brave followers.^[39] The fort with all the money and valuables it contained was occupied by Jujhar Singh.

A place is still shown to the south of the fort called ‘Bundela Kot’, commemorating a traditional Bundela attack. A Gond story, however, depicts Prem Narayan in the midst of his hostile enemies and in despair dedicating his head to his patron goddess. It further pictures the goddess placing her magic sword in the hands of the headless worrier and his foes in dismay flying before him.^[40] Another story narrates how the immortal soul of Prem Narayan took his revenge on the Bundelas by sinking their cannon and army after they crossed the Narmada at Barmanghat.

Jujhar’s triumph was, however, short-lived. Hirde Shah, son of Prem Narayan, complained to the Emperor of this unprovoked attack and his father’s brutal assassination. Shahjahan had, by now, ample reasons to be angry, because the Bundela ruler had invaded the country of a fellow tributary chieftain without his previous sanction and had dishonoured the expressed Imperial order. He despatched to Orchha, Sundar Kavi Rai to induce the Bundela Chief to return Chauragarh to its lawful owner and to pay his overlord a fine of one million rupees. He made it sufficiently clear to Jujhar that in case he wanted to retain those lands, which were forcibly taken, he was to cede an equivalent portion from his own country.^[41] Shahjahan chastised Jujhar Singh because it was thought impolitic to leave unperished a powerful chieftain on the edge of the Deccan road.^[42]

[p.50]: Shahjahan’s letter to Jujhar Singh ran as follows :—

“Jt was improper for you to attack Prem Narayan without our sanction, but worse than that was that you played false to your plighted word. Now what is done cannot be undone; and the only way to expiate your offences is to surrender the territories which you have forcibly occupied. You are also to send to court one million rupees from the treasure of Prem Narayan, which has fallen into your hands. But if you want to retain those lands, you must cede an equivalent thereof from your own country.’’^[43]

The letter lays bare the sordid intentions of Shahjahan. Evidently, the Emperor wanted to appropriate all the fruits of Jujhar’s efforts, at the expense of one of his tributary subjects.^[44] Jujhar Singh refused to part with all his monetary and territorial gains and dismissed the royal messenger. He sent instructions to his son Jugraj or Vikramajit, to join him secretly from the Deccan.

Shahjahan sent a large army of 20,000 with three eminent generals under the supreme command of Aurangzeb, who defeated the Bundela army at Koluri. Jujhar begged for a compromise, but the Imperial terms were stricter. He was to pay a fine of three million rupees and to surrender the sarkar of Biyanwan in lieu of Chauragarh.^[45] Jujhar Singh followed a scorched earth policy within and outside the Chauragarh palace. He removed all provisions and destroyed the guns of the fortress, burnt all the property he had and blew up the dwellings which Prem Narayan had built within the fort. Jujhar then marched hurriedly with his son and retinue towards south via Shahpur, with whatever goods he could carry. The Imperial army quickened its pace and occupied Chauragarh. Their general, Khan Dauran mounted on the top of its main temple, called the Azan from there and recited prayers in the name of Shahjahan.^[46] At Shahpur, Raghu Chaudhari furnished intelligence of the fleeing ruler. His party was hotly pursued and soon overpowered. The Bundelas killed some of their ladies or disfigured their features to save their honour, fought a desperate battle and fled into the woods, where they were killed with great cruelty by the local Gond inhabitants.^[47]

On receiving the news of father’s tragic assassination, Hirde Shah, then in attendance upon the Emperor hastened back to his country. Near the fortress of Chauragarh he is said to have met his old nurse, and on being recognised by her, was told where his father had deposited a large sum of money which, with her assistance, he got in his possession. He then contacted a number of powerful and influential landholders of the country who brought all their followers to his support. Hirde Shah launched a vigorous attack, reoccupied Chauragarh and

[p.51]: other parts of his kingdom and inflicted a crushing defeat on the enemy at Koluri village, in Narsimhapur District.^[48] Thus, the District again became the scene of the Gond activity, under the overall suzerainty of the Mughals. Maasir-ul-Umra tells us that one Sardar Khan was appointed tuyufdar of Chauragarh in the 17th year (1644 A.D.) of Shahjahan’s reign; but on account of his inability to control that territory, he was soon removed from the post.^[49] Later, Raja Pahar Singh Bundela, brother of Jujhar Singh, was appointed as jagirdar of Chauragarh after the removal of Sardar Khan. When he reached the vicinity of Chauragarh, Hirde Shah is stated to have fled towards Rewa.^[50]

The Garha dynasty was, thus, finally dispossessed of its territory in Narsimhapur in the 24th year of the reign of Shahjahan, i.e.,in A.D. 1651. We further read that four years later, in 1655 A.D., Iftikhar Khan Khwaja Abdul Baqa was appointed tayuldar and faujdar of Chauragarh and was promoted to the rank of a mansabdar of three, thousand horse.^[51]

In order to protect his depleted kingdom from his greedy neighbours, Hirde Shah built the magnificent Gond palace at Ramnagar, and shifted his head-quarters to this fortress near Mandla. This migration was a confession of the diminishing authority of the Raj Gond rulers, for they had to retire from their great fort of Chauragarh to the obscure neighbourhood of Mandla. Under his orders a genealogy of the Royal-house of Garha was prepared and inscribed in an enduring form on the walls of his new palace.

From Hirde Shah onwards the history of North Gondwana lost much of its princely glory. None of its later rulers could exploit the great political confusion after Aurangzeb’s death for their territorial expansion or political supremacy. Instead, they indulged only in dynastic feuds, resulting in the steady shrinking of their borders. No one arose to arrest its decay, nor took a spirited stand against any invader who deprived them of their possession in slices. They were of easy and unambitious disposition, cager only ta ward off the evil day of dissolution by buying off enemies with their steadily diminishing revenue. When at last the Marathas appeared there was no power left in them to resist their insolent demand.

[p.52]: In 1781 the last scene in the history of the Gond dynasty of Garha took place in Chauragarh again. Narhar Shah, the last king, sought refuge in Chauragarh on being pressed by the Maratha ruler of Sagar. The Gond king was betrayed and he ended his days in imprisonment at Khurai while his dominions fell into the hands of the Marathas.

The Marathas

Source - Madhya Pradesh District Gazetteers Narsinghpur District by P.N. Shrivastav, 1971, p.52

With the deposition of Narhar Shah, Narsimhapura or Garha Dakhantir, as it was called under the Gond rulers, passed under the rule of the Maratha Pandits of Sagar. The latter administered the country for about eighteen years. Their rule is uneventful except that during their regime there was a considerable influx of Hindu immigrants from the north and north-east. These northern settlers greatly improved the economic condition of the District and transformed fertile but uncultivated lands into villages, groves and rich cultivated fields.^[52]

In September, 1785 the Bhonslas ruler of Nagpur, Mudhoji, obtained sanads for Mandla and the valley of the Narmada from the Poona Court on giving a written engagement to pay 27 lakhs of rupees^[53] For inexplicable reasons, however, the occupation of these territories could not take place. It was left to Raghoji, the son and successor of Madhoji, to conclude a new treaty at Poona in March 1795 for the occupation of the long coveted province of Garha-Mandla, north of the Narmada, of Hoshangabad and of areas south of the Narmada, comprising among other places Chauragarh, Bachai and Paloha, which together corresponded to modern Narsimhapur District.^[54] During the following two years Raghoji obtained possession of nearly the whole of Garha-Mandla, Hoshangabad, Sagar and Damoh. Chauragarh was not taken until February, 1799 and the forts of Tejgarh and Mandla in November of the same year.

Bhonsle Rulers: In year 1785, Madhovji Bhonsle purchased the area of Mandla & Narmada Valley in Rs 27 lakhs & area was under pressure of army rule during the reign of Radhoji Bhonsle / Nawab of Bhopal & Pindari' s due to unsuitability & other problems, the common people were extremely exploited. This period also known as period of problems & unsuitability. At last in 1817 British rule came into existence.^[55]

The Bundela rising of 1842

Source - Central Provinces District Gazetteers Narsinghpur District by R.V. Russell, 1906, p.31-32

[p.31]: In 1842 occurred what is known as the Bundela rising. It originated in the Sagar District and was caused by the discontent of the people at the jurisdiction of the new civil courts. Two Bundela landholders in the Sagar District resisted execution, killed some of the police and burnt and plundered several towns. The rising excited little sympathy south of the river, but the trans-Nerbudda portions of the District entered into it heart and soul, though they could not have had very pleasant recollections of their old rulers. The Deputy Commissioner of Narsinghpur wrote that not a single landholder in the Chanwarpatha pargana was quite free from the taint of complicity in the insurrection. Delan Sha, the Gond chief of Madanpur, was the principal insurgent in the District ; he rose and plundered Deori and the surrounding territory in Saugor and the Chanwarpatha tract of Narsinghpur. Captain Wakeman, the commander of a detachment of British troops which was operating against the rebels, related that he found the whole valley north of the Nerbudda in league with the insurgents with the one exception of the Diwan of Bamhni. Their force was freely supplied with provisions, while the British detachment was obliged to obtain supplies from Narsinghpur. The very man selected by the District authorities as a guide to our troops was more than suspected of being an active spy for and a zealous partisan of the enemy. Not only did he in every way retard and mislead Captain Wakeman’s movements, but there was reason to suppose that he was the prime agent in a night attack upon our detachment. The insurrection also broke out hotly in the Hirapur taluka, then attached to Jabalpur, but subsequently transferred to the Narsinghpur District. But south of the river with the exception of one or two petty Gond chiefs living on the border of the hill

[p.32]: country, not a landholder showed symptoms of disaffection. When pressed by our troops the rebels crossed the Nerbudda, and made for Bachai, plundering one or two rich villages on their way. Thence they went through the estate of the Gond Raja of Dilehri, and below Chauragarh to Murgidhana, a village belonging to one of the Fatehpur Rajas. Here they were attacked by a party of matchlockmen under the naib tahsildar of Chanwarpatha, and driven to recross the Nerbudda, burning the town of Sainkheda on their way. They were disappointed in their hope of receiving the same aid from the chiefs south of the Nerbudda, as had been so willingly afforded them by the landholders of Chanwarpatha, but the very fact that a mere rabble only formidable from the celerity of its movements, should have made a complete circuit of the District in broad daylight without hindrance, showed that if the people were not against us they were certainly not altogether with us. Some of the chiefs however redeemed their character for loyalty in 1843, capturing the leaders in a second small outbreak which followed the larger one. The insurrection seemed to come quite by surprise on the local authorities. Nor need this be considered as unaccountable, as no tangible ground of complaint was ever alleged by the Chanwarpatha insurgents, and the body of the District escaped the contagion altogether. It is possible that so far as the Narsinghpur District was concerned, the disturbances were not entirely due to local mismanagement, but this is not a matter which need now be discussed. It may be remembered that the rising took place immediately after the disastrous Afghan war of 1839. The result to the Province was a complete reorganisation. The suppressed Districts were reconstituted, and the administrative staff replaced by an entirely new body of officers, the Saugor and Nerbudda territories being separated from the North-Western Provinces and constituted the charge of an Agent to the Governor-General by Lord Ellenborough. This last arrangement was not found to work well, however, and the territories were again attached to the North-Western Provinces in 1852, remaining a part of them until the formation of the Central Provinces in 1861.

Inscriptions in Narsinghpur District

(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).

Chaugan Fort

Chaugan Fort (चौगान का किला): The fort of Chaugan is situated on the peak of Satpuda mountain called Chauragarh near Chaugan village in Gadarwara tehsil of Narsinghpur district. It is located at 20.35 latitude 79.55 longitude. This fort built at a distance of about 35 kilometers from the Gadarwara tehsil headquarters is east-facing.

There is a pond inside the fort, which is called Revakund, near it there is an ancient pyramidal peak or temple.^[62]

A fragmentary idol of Narasimha (the head and body are separated) is kept in the sanctum sanctorum, which definitely seems to be of the period before the Gond rulers. Other important places within the fort are the Rangmahal and the palace of the Gond king Prem Narayan Shah, in front of which are the remains of an open pavilion (Darbar Hal). The square terraced wells built in each house are still there. In 1816 AD, this fort was destroyed by the British, since then it is deserted and at present there is a forest plants have grown in it.

Shiva Temple Gararu

Shiva Temple Gararu (शिव मंदिर, गरारु): Gararu is situated on the banks of river Narmada in Narsinghpur tehsil of Narsinghpur district. There is a seasonal unpaved road to reach the village which is 18 km away from the district headquarter Narsinghpur.^[63]

This grand monument is situated on a small hill on the banks of river Narmada in the north of the village, which looks like a mausoleum made of Indo-Persian style. A temple of about 45×56 feet size is built on the 60×100 feet high adhishthana built on top of the hill. The temple has been constructed with bricks and lime. In the plan of the temple, there is a Dakshina Path around the square sanctum sanctorum. The entrance of the sanctum sanctorum is made in the form of arches and ventilation on each side in the Pradakshina path, in which the Shivling along with the water carrier is installed.

On the stylistic basis, the temple was originally constructed in the late 14th century or early 15th century, after which the local God ruler Balwant Singh got the renovation done in the 17th century. For this, octagonal pillars were made at all the four corners, plastered on the walls, lime plaster on the upper part of the dome, Mughal-style Kanas on the bottom and plaster on the octagonal part of the middle, dividing the dome into three parts, 24 subdivisions were made. The structure of amalak and kalash on top also seems to be of this period.^[64]

Ancient Garuda Temple, Gararu

Ancient Garuda Temple, Gararu (प्राचीन गरुड मंदिर, गरारू): Near Ghat Pipariya in Narsinghpur district, there is a village named Gararu on the banks of river Narmada. This village is situated at a distance of about 18 km from Narsinghpur. There are three temples built in this village. Of these, the temple named Garuda is situated on a high mound. This temple is east facing. Probably, Garuda statue or Garudas in Vishnu statue would have been installed in this temple, due to which the name of this village is Garudapuri or which is presently known as Gararu. This east facing temple is built in Pachayatan style. Presently there is no statue installed in the sanctum sanctorum of the temple but a Shivling is installed in a corner outside the sanctum sanctorum.

The ancient Garuda temple is important from archaeological point of view, so it is proposed to preserve this temple.^[65]

Bineki Tola Unique rock paintings

Bineki Tola :- Unique rock paintings found in the valleys of inaccessible and dense forests:

Tribal village Bineki Tola, which comes under Nayakheda Gram Panchayat of Kareli Tehsil, is full of archaeological heritage for the district. Here the rock paintings of the Chalcolithic and Mesolithic period are made in the caves built on the banks of the Shakkar River. Their period has been told up to about 10 thousand years old. The rock paintings made here are made in red, ochre, and white, in which the art of warfare, animal husbandry, festivals, hunting figures and arrows, swords, spears, axes are made on the walls, as well as lions, deer, stag, wild boar, sheep. Pictures of creatures like elephant, python have also been engraved.

While searching for this, the joint team of Dr. VK Wakankar Archaeological Research Institute, Bhopal, conducted a survey from 2 to 4 March 2022. The survey team included Research Officer Dr. Dhurvendra Jodha and Archeology Lecturer of Vikram University, Ujjain, Ritesh Lot and Junior Fellowship of Delhi UGC, Shubham Kevaliya, who conducted a total survey. Numbering, marking of shelters, geotag, videography and registration of the discovery of 11 shelters has been done. Its information was given to the administration and archeology department by Kareli resident journalist Amit Srivastava, the same Dainik Bhaskar on February 3, 2020. was brought to the fore.

From Kareli Railway Station via Tehsil Chowk via Amgaon, via Nayakheda via Dilheri Pradhan Mantri Road to Gwari. After this, about 7 kilometers on foot and with the help of a two-wheeler, one can reach the village and the place where the rock paintings are located. Due to the forest and mountains, this path is quite inaccessible. The same other way can be reached by four-wheeler from Harrai tehsil of Chhindwara district via Chikla-Chakarpat, after that it can be reached by walking 5 km.

Local youths have been associated with Village Forest Committee and SGO to provide employment and opportunities through tourism. Through this, tourists and groups coming to Bineki Tola can get the facility of guide and food etc. at the tourist place itself, along with archaeological information, they can enjoy trekking and village culture.

नरसिंहपुर विशेष: नरसिंहपुर जिला मध्यप्रदेश राज्य के लगभग मध्य भाग में स्थित है । मध्यप्रदेश राज्य की स्थिति भी देश के मध्य भाग में है इसीलिए तो .. मध्यप्रदेश ..अर्थात मध्य भाग का प्रदेश नाम पड़ा है । नरसिंहपुर जिले की स्थिति इस समीकरण के अनुसार विशिष्ट मानी जाती है कि वह देश व राज्य दोनों के मध्य भाग में स्थित है । नरसिंहपुर जिला अपनी विशेष प्राकृतिक स्थिति के कारण भी ध्यान आकर्षित करता है । इसकी उत्तरी सीमा पर विंध्याचल और दक्षिणी सीमा पर पूरी लंबाई में सतपुड़ा श्रृंखला फैली हुई है । उत्तरी भाग में नर्मदा नदी पूर्व से पश्चिम की ओर बहती है । जिसे गंगा नदी सदृश्य पवित्र माना जाता है । नर्मदा के कछार के रूप में नरसिंहपुर जिले को अनेक प्राकृतिक उपहार मिले हैं । पूर्व में यह क्षेत्र अनेक राजवंशों के अधीन रहकर ऐतिहासिक वीरांगना दुर्गावती के शासनाधीन रहा है । उस काल में अन्य नामों से उल्लेख मिलता है । अठारहवीं शताब्दी में जाट सरदारों ने यहां भव्य मंदिर का निर्माण करवाया और भगवान नरसिंह की मूर्ति प्रतिष्ठित करवाई । तब से यहां जिले का मुख्यालय बना और गड़रिया खेड़ा नाम का यह ग्राम नरसिंहपुर के नाम से प्रसिद्ध हुआ ।

नरसिंहपुर के संस्थापक जाट सरदार भरतपुर व आगरा के निकट से ग्वालियर होते हुए गडरिया खेड़ा पहुचे थे। इनका गोत्र खिरवार है। यहां पिंडारियों को मारकर अपने कुलदेव नृसिंह भगवान का मंदिर बनाया - इसका नाम नरसिंहपुर रखा। यह कार्य राव जगभरथ सिंह के नेतृत्व में किया गया।

ऐतिहासिक पृष्ठभूमि: नरसिंहपुर जिला क्षेत्र अपने भीतर अस्तित्व के प्राचीनतम प्रमाण छुपाये हुये है । जो विभिन्न पुरातात्विक खोजों से समय समय पर उजागर होते रहे हैं । जिले के गजेटियर में उल्लखित पुरातात्विक प्रमाणों के अनुसार जिले के गाडरवारा से दूर भटरा नामक ग्राम में 1872 में पाषाण युग के जीवाश्म युक्त पशु और बलुआ पत्थर से निर्मित उपकरण प्राप्त हुये हैं । अन्य खोज अभियानों में देवाकछार, धुवघट, कुम्हड़ी, रातीकरार और ब्रम्हाण घाट आदि स्थलों में प्रागेतिहासिक अवशेष मिले हैं । बिजौरी ग्राम के समीप चिन्हित शैलामय एवं नक्कासीदार चट्टानी गुफायें भी जिले के अस्तित्व को प्राचीनतम काल से जोड़ते हैं । ब्रम्हाण घाट से झांसी घाट के बीच नर्मदा के तटवर्ती खोज अभियानों में मिले स्तनधारी जीवाश्म तथा पुरातात्विक औजारों के अवशेष जिले को प्रागेतिहासिक इतिहास से जोड़ते हैं ।

अनुकृतियों के अनुसार इस क्षेत्र का संबंध रामायण और महाभारत काल की घटनाओं से रहा है । पौराणिक संदर्भो के अनुसार ब्रम्हाण घाट वह स्थल है जहां सृष्टि के रचियता ब्रम्हा ने पवित्र नर्मदा के तट पर यज्ञ सम्पन्न किया था । चांवरपाठा विकास खंड के बिल्थारी ग्राम का प्राचीन नाम बलि स्थली कहा जाता है । इसे राजा बलि का निवास स्थान माना जाता है ।

महाभारत काल में बरमान घाट के सत्धारा पर पाण्डवों द्वारा नर्मदा की धारा को एक ही रात में बांधने के प्रयत्न का उल्लेख पुराणों में हुआ है । सत्धारा के निकट भीम कुण्ड, अर्जुन कुण्ड आदि इसी को ईंगित करते हैं । कहा जाता है कि पाण्डवों ने वनवास की कुछ अवधि यहां बिताई थी । सांकल घाट की गुफा आदि गुरू शंकराचार्य के गुरूदेव के अध्ययन एवं साधना से जुड़ी है ।

जिले का बरहटा ग्राम महाभारत काल के विराट नगर का अवशेष माना जाता है । यहीं कदम-कदम पर मिलतीं पाषाण मूर्तियां और कलात्मक अवशेष से इस किवदंती को बल मिलता है । बचई के निकट पड़ी मानवाकार पाषाण शिला को कीचक से जोड़ा जाता है । जिले के बोहानी क्षेत्र को पृथ्वीराज कालीन वीरचरित नायकों आल्हा-ऊदल के पिता जसराज व चाचा बछराज का गढ़ माना जाता है । अनेक ऐतिहासिक प्रमाणों, खुदाई में प्राप्त प्राचीन वस्तुओं तथा उल्लेखों से जिले का संदर्भ प्राचीन काल से जोड़ने वाले तथ्य और अनुकृतियां बहुतायत में हैं । पर इतिहास ग्रंथों तथा ऐतिहासिक अभिलेखों द्वारा जिले के प्रमाणिक इतिहास की श्रृंखला दूसरी शताब्दी के इतिहास से मिलती है ।

सातवाहन काल: दूसरी शताब्दी में इस क्षेत्र पर सातवाहन शासकों का अधिपत्य था । चौथी शताब्दी में यह गुप्त साम्राज्य के अधीन रहा जब समुद्र गुप्त ने मध्य भारत क्षेत्र तथा दक्षिण तक अपने साम्राज्य की सीमायें स्थापित करने में सफलता पाई । छठी शताब्दी में चेदीराज्य के कुछ संकेत मिलते हैं ।

लगभग 300 वर्षो तक का काल पुन: अंधेरों में खोया हुआ है।

नौवीं शताब्दी में क्षेत्र कलचुरी शासन (हैहय) के स्थापित होने का उल्लेख प्राप्त है । कलचुरी राजवंश की राजधानी नर्मदा किनारे माहिष्मती नगरी थी जो आगे चलकर त्रिपुरी में स्थापित हो गई । कलचुरी राज्य के गोमती से नर्मदा घाट तक फैले होने का विवरण इतिहास ग्रंथों में सुरक्षित है । कलचुरी सत्ता के पतन के पश्चात इस क्षेत्र पर आल्हा-ऊदल के पिता व चाचा के संरक्षण का उल्लेख मिलता है । जिनने बोहानी को अपना राज केन्द्र बनाया उनके पश्चात लगातार चार शताब्दियों तक यह क्षेत्र राजगौड़ वंश के साम्राज्य का अंग रहा ।

राजगौड़ वंश: इस शासन की स्थापना से जिले में नये व्यवस्थित शांतिपूर्ण एवं खुशहाली का दौर प्रारंभ होता है । इस राजवंश के उदय का श्रेय यादव राव (यदुराव) को दिया जाता है । जिनने चौदहवीं शताब्दी के अंतिम वर्षो में गढ़ा कटंगा में स्थापित किया और एक महत्वपूर्ण शासन क्रम की नींव डाली । इसी राजवंश के प्रसिद्ध शासक संग्राम शाह (1400-1541) ने 52 गढ़ स्थापित कर अपने साम्राज्य को सुदृढ़ बनाया । नरसिंहपुर जिले में चौरागढ़ (चौगान) किले का निर्माण भी उसने ही कराया था जो रानी दुर्गावती के पुत्र वीरनारायण की वीरता का मूक साक्षी है ।

संग्राम शाह के उत्तराधिकारियों में दलपति शाह ने सात वर्ष शांति पूर्वक शासन किया । उसके पश्चात उसकी वीरांगना रानी दुर्गावती ने राज्य संभाला और अदम्य साहस एवं वीरता पूर्वक 16 वर्ष (1540-1564) शासन किया । सन् 1564 में अकबर के सिपहसलार आसफ खां से युद्ध करते हुये रानी ने वीरगति पाई। नरसिंहपुर जिले में स्थित चौरागढ़ एक सुदृढ़ पहाड़ी किले के रूप में था जहां पहुंच कर आसफ खां ने राजकुमार वीरनारायण को घेर लिया और अंतत: कुटिल चालों से उसका वध कर दिया । गढ़ा कटंगा राज्य पर 1564 में मुगलों का अधिकार हो गया गौंड़, मुगल, और इनके पश्चात यह क्षेत्र मराठों के शासन काल में प्रशासनिक और सैनिक अधिकारियों तथा अनुवांशिक सरदारों में बंटा हुआ रहा । जिनके प्रभाव और शक्ति के अनुसार ईलाकों की सीमायें समय समय पर बदलती रहती थीं । जिले के चांवरपाठा, बारहा, साई खेड़ा, शाहपुर, सिंहपुर, श्रीनगर और तेन्दूखेड़ा इस समूचे काल में परगानों के मुख्यालय के रूप में प्रसिद्ध रहे ।

भोंसले शासक: सन् 1785 में माधो जी भोसले ने 27 लाख रूपये में मण्डला और [Narmada Valley|नर्मदा घाटी]] को प्राप्त कर लिया जो राधो जी भोसले/भोपाल नबाब/पिंडोरी सरदारों आदि की खींचतान और सैन्य शासन के क्रूर दबाब में डूबता उतरता रहा । इसे संकटो और अस्थिरता का कौल कहा जा सकता है । जिसमें लूटपाट के साथ क्षेत्र की जनता का जबरजस्त शोषण हुआ । अंतत: 1817 में ब्रिटिश शासन के अंतर्गत आ गया ।

स्वतन्त्रता संग्राम: ब्रिटिश अधिपत्य के कठोर शिकंजे में रहने के वावजूद जिले में आजादी की तड़प जन मानस में सदैव कौंधती रही । 1857 में चांवरपाठा और तेन्दूखेड़ा पुलिस स्टेशनों पर बिद्रोही सैनानियों ने अधिकार कर लिया । मदनपुर के गौड़ प्रमुख डेलन शाह के नेतृत्व में आजादी के लिये विप्लव का शंखनाद हुआ । 1858 में डेलन शाह को पकड़ लिया जाकर फांसी पर लटका दिया गया । 1857 के पहले स्वतंत्रता संघर्ष को कुचलकर ब्रिटिश सम्राट अपनी जडें जमाने में सफल होता रहा ।

कांग्रेस आंदोलन: 1885 में भारतीय राष्ट्रीय कांग्रेस की स्थापना के पश्चात जिले में आजादी के लिये आंदोलन की चिनगारी सदैव प्रज्वलित रही – लोकमान्य तिलक, महात्मा गांधी, पं. जवाहर लाल नेहरू, सुभाष चंद्र वोस प्रभूति नेताओं की प्रेरणा और नेतृत्व में जिले में स्वतंत्रता के लिये आंदोलन का जोश पूर्ण वातावरण रहा । जिले के नेताओं में गयादत्त, माणिकचंद कोचर, चौधरी शंकर लाल, ठाकुर निरंजन सिंह, श्याम सुंदर नारायण मुशरान आदि के नेतृत्व में जिले से बड़ी संख्या में आंदोलन कारी सक्रिय रहे । इसी एकता एवं उत्साह को भंग करने के लिये ब्रिटिश शासन ने 1932 में जिले को पुन: तोड़कर होशंगावाद जिले में मिला दिया गया । परंतु इससे आंदोलन और सत्याग्रह के उत्साह मे कोई शिथिलता नहीं आई । 1942 में चीचली मे सत्याग्राही जुलूस पर हुये गोली चालन में मंशाराम और गौरादेवी शहीद हो गये । सैंकडों आंदोलन-कारियों ने दमन चक्र को हंसते हंसते झेला और ब्रिटिश शासन के विरूद्ध त्याग और वलिदान की अनूठी परम्परा कायम की ।

Jat History

The Jat Sardar Rao Jagbharath^[70] , founder of Narsinghpur, was of Khirwar Jat clan. Under his leadership these Jat Sardars, who were followers of god Narsingh, 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.^[71]

R.V. Russell mentions in the District Gazetteers of Narsinghpur-1906 ... The Jats came into Narsinghpur from Dholpur in Rajasthan towards the end of the 18th century. One of the first immigrants was Rao Jagannath, the ancestor of the present proprietor of Narsinghpur. He built the temple of Narsingh which gives the town its name and his success attracted others.^[72]

R.V. Russell mentions in the District Gazetteers of Narsinghpur-1906 ... The Jat family of Narsinghpur dates from about the beginning of the eighteenth century, and according to their own tradition played a leading part in the history of the District prior to the cession. They resisted the Pindaris and were rewarded by the Bhonslas with the title of Rao and the command of 100 foot and 50 horse. The town of Narsinghpur is named after the temple of Narsingh, built by the grandfather of the present proprietor Rao Sheobaran Singh, who has recently come of age. During his minority the estate, which consists of 18 villages, was managed by the Court of Wards, and was still somewhat heavily involved when it was made over to him. The Karapgaon Jat family have 21 villages, several of which are held by inferior proprietors. The present representative is a widow. Rani Bhagoti, who is related to Sheobaran Singh. ^[73]

P.N. Shrivastav mentions in the District Gazetteers of Narsinghpur-1971 ... The District and the head-quarters town both owe their identical names to the temple of Narsimhaji, the God’s incarnation in the form of a lion-headed man, according to the Hindu mythology. After 1782, a Jat Sardar shifted from the head-quarters village of Chawarpatha pargana under the Marathas to the present head-quarters of the District, then only a village known as Gadariya Kheda and later called as Chhota Gadarwara. He occupied the Jagirdaris of Dilheri and Pithera and built a palace and the temple of Narsimhaji at this place. It was he who renamed the village after the temple. However, the District was not known then as Narsimhapur and was still known after Shahpur, the old pargana head—quarters. ^[74]

The tanks at Narsimhapur together with the temple of Narsimhaji were built by the Jat chief by the close of the 18th Century. ^[75]

Ram Sarup Joon^[76] writes that ....Samudra Gupta conquered the whole of Punjab and a major part of India. The clans defeated by him included Vir Arjun clan who ruled Narisinghpur.

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. ^[77]

Hukum Singh Panwar^[78] 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^[79]:

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. Vajra → 47. Khira (खिर)

Vajra's elder son was Khira (खिर). 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 Gotegaon - Khairi, Khairi,

Tahsil Kareli: Khairi, Khairi, Khairuwa, Khiriya, Khiriya,

Tahsil Narsinghpur: Khairi

Tahsil Tendukheda: Kashi Kheri, Khairi, Khairi, Khairi, Khairi Khurd, Khairuwa, Khairuwa, Khakredi,

Udaipura Raisen: Kheruya, Khireti, Khiriya,

Rao Sahab Ki Bhakar

Bhakar or Rao Sahab ki Bhakar was the residence of Rao's of Narsinghpur. The ruler of Narshingpur belonged to Khirwar clan of Jat who came from Braj and settled in the area of Gadariya Khera leadership of Rao Jagbharat Singh. Source - Jat Kshatriya Culture

नरसिंहपुर के जाटों का इतिहास

खिरवार या खरे का इतिहास: कैप्टन दलीप सिंह अहलावत^[80] लिखते हैं कि भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण जी के पौत्र अनिरुद्ध के पुत्र बृज को, यादवों के आपस में लड़कर भयंकर विनाश होने पर, अर्जुन द्वारिका से लाया और उसे इन्द्रप्रस्थ की गद्दी पर बैठाया। इस यदुवंशी बृज के बड़े पुत्र खिर थे जिसके नाम पर इनकी परम्परा में खिरवार वंश प्रचलित हुआ। यह यदुवंशी जाट गोत्र है जो भाषाभेद से खरे भी कहा जाता है। महाराजा खिर का राज्य बृजमण्डल पर था अतः इस वंश के जाट आज भी बृज के अन्तर्गत आगरा जिले में ही रहते हैं। पथौली इस वंश की अच्छी रियासत रही। पंजाब में तरनतारन के समीप खण्डूशाह, सांगोकी, शेरों, उसभा, झाली, गोलावाड़ा, मानकपुरा इस वंश के प्राचीन आर्यों की बस्तियां हैं। मध्यप्रदेश में यह खिरवार शब्द खिनवाल नाम पर प्रसिद्ध हुआ। उधर इस वंश के जाटों ने हरदा होशंगाबाद में जाकर छत्रपति शिवाजी और उनकी परम्परा की युद्धों में सहायता की थी, जिसके कारण इनको भोंसला बहादुर की उपाधि से सत्कृत किया गया। राव जगभरथ ने नरसिंहपुर नामक नगरी को बसाया। इनकी परम्परा देर तक इस नगरी पर स्वतन्त्र शासन करती रही। इस खिरवार गोत्र के हिन्दू एवं सिक्ख जाटों ने समान प्रतिष्ठा प्राप्त की।

ठाकुर सत्येन्द्र सिंह^[81]ने लिखा है कि 320 वर्ष पूर्व (~1696 ई.) जाटों के दल राजस्थान, हरयाणा, दिल्ली व उत्तर प्रदेश के विभिन्न भागों से ग्वालियर, झांसी व सागर 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। यहाँ के जाटों के नरसिंह भगवान इष्ट देव हैं इसलिए यहाँ के लोग आपस में 'जय नरसिंहजी' कहकर अभिवादन करते 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।

भुगवारा (नरसिंहपुर) के किलेदार परिवार का इतिहास

गाँव भुगवारा नरसिंहपुर जिले के करेली तहसील में स्थित है। गाँव भुगवारा नरसिंहपुर के किलेदार परिवार भुगवारा का गोत्र "राणा है" और बम्हरौली कटारा से माईग्रेशन के कारण "राना बम्हरोलिया" लिखा गया है। लगभग 400 साल पूर्व आगरा के पास स्थित गांव बमरोली कटारा से धौलपुर होते हुए किलेदार परिवार के पूर्वज गोहद से ग्वालियर पहुंचे। वहां के रियासत के राजा ने उनकी वीरता और स्वामी भक्ति को देखते हुए अपने राज्य की सेना में उन्हें ऊंचे पद पर रख लिया। बाद में उनकी वीरता एवं कार्यकुशलता को देखते हुए किलेदार की पदवी देकर उनका सम्मान बढ़ाया ।

गोहद स्टेट के राजा एवं महाराजा सिंधिया की घनी मित्रता रही है । उस समय सिंधिया रियासत की सीमा नर्मदा सागर संभाग में नरसिंहपुर तक थी । सत्रहवीं शताब्दी के अंत में, जब मध्य भारत प्रांत तथा बरार स्टेट में पिंडारियों का आतंक अपनी चरम सीमा पर था, उस समय महाराजा सिंधिया ने गोहद के राजा से कहकर किलेदार पूर्वजों को, ग्वालियर परिवार की सुरक्षा के लिए , फौज की एक बटालियन के साथ होशंगाबाद संभाग भेजा । इस तरह किलेदार पूर्वजों का नरसिंहपुर आगमन हुआ । यहां आकर वह अपने शासकों द्वारा प्रदान की गई ग्राम भुगवारा की मालगुजारी संभालने लगे ।

बाद में इस परिवार के पूर्वज मालगुजारी से हटकर समाज सेवा के कार्य में लगे । स्वर्गीय श्री रघुनाथ सिंह किलेदार ने देशभक्ति का रास्ता अपनाकर नरसिंहपुर जिले के इतिहास में महान स्वतंत्रता सेनानी होने का गौरव प्राप्त किया । श्री रघुनाथ सिंह जी की प्रतिभा से आकर्षित होकर महाराजा भरतपुर परिवार की राजकुमारी बीबीजी बृजराज कुमारी कौर का विवाह इनके साथ कर दिया ।

स्वर्गीय श्री महेंद्र सिंह किलेदार ने स्वच्छ राजनीति करके जिले के विकास में अभूतपूर्व योगदान दिया है। जब श्री महेंद्र सिंह किलेदार संविद सरकार में कैबिनेट मंत्री थे, तब उस समय उन्होंने अपने व्यक्तिगत कार्य के लिए कभी भी सरकारी वाहन तथा सरकारी धन का दुरुपयोग नहीं किया । इस बात के लिए विधानसभा की कार्यवाही में श्री डीपी मिश्र जी ने भी उनकी प्रशंसा की थी। साथ ही इन परिवार के लोगों ने जिले भर के लोगों का विश्वास जीतकर राजनीति में अपनी अलग पहचान बनाई ।

श्री बीरेन्द्र सिंह किलेदार पुत्र श्री बैंनी सिंह किलेदार, जन्म15/08/1919 बीरेन्द्र सिंह किलेदार बनारस हिंदू यूनिवर्सिटी के छात्र रहे हैं और1942के अंग्रेजों भारत छोडो आन्दोलन मे सक्रीय छात्र नेता के रूप में क़ाँन्तिकारी भूमिका निभाई थी तथा बनारस के रेल/रोड के पुल में अपने साथियों के साथ डायनामाइट लगाकर यमुना नदी में जंप कर फरार हो गये थे, इसी बीच सुरक्षा कर्मी द्बारा गोलियां चलाई गई जिससे जिस साथी को पलीता मे आग लगाना थी वो नहीं लग पाई।उस समय डां सर्वपल्ली राधाकृष्णन जी वाईस चाँसलर थे बनारस हिंदू यूनिवर्सिटी के। विवाह सन्1948मे श्रीमती सावित्री देवी किलेदार से हुआ। सावित्री देवी दौराला जिला मेरठ के मालगुजार प़धान महेन्द्र सिंह जी एहलावत कि एक पुत्री हैं।

बीरेन्द्र सिंह जी के जयेष्ट पुत्र श्री रघुनाथ सिंह जी और श्री महेन्द्र सिंह जी के लाडले डॉक्टर राजेंद्र किलेदार प्रदेश स्टेट कोंग्रेस कमेटी अध्यक्ष पद पर स्थापित हुए अदूतिय व्यवहार के धनी और समाज सेवा, समर्पण भाव के लिए जाने जाते है इनकी धरम पत्नी श्रीमती रेखा किलेदार उत्तर प्रदेश के बड़े समृद्ध परिवार की एक पुत्री है वे उस जमाने की उच्च शिक्षित महिला LLM है और नरसिंघपुर कन्सूमर फ़ोरम में अडिशनल डिस्ट्रिक्ट जज पद का निर्वहन कर चुकी है। इस परिवार की श्रीमती मंजरी किलेदार ने, जो श्री भूपेंद्र किलेदार की पत्नी हैं, जब तक जिला पंचायत अध्यक्ष पद का निर्वहन किया तब तक जिले के ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में विकास की गंगा बहाई थी । श्रीमती राधा किलेदार जो श्री कृष्ण कुमार किलेदार की पत्नी है , इन्होंने भी अपने सरपंच पद के दायित्व को निभाते हुए ग्राम भुगवारा में कई अच्छे कार्य किए हैं । वर्तमान में ये जिला पंचायत सदस्य हैं तथा स्वास्थ और महिला बाल विकास की सभापति हैं । आज भी लोग स्वर्गीय रघुनाथ सिंह किलेदार की स्मृतियां अपने दिमाग में संजोए हुए हैं ।

नरसिंहपुर मंदिर

नगरदेव भगवान नरसिंह के प्राकट्योत्सव पर विशेष

स्रोत: श्रीमती मिथिलेश पटेल जाट

विराजे नरसिंह भगवान तो नरसिंहपुर पड़ा नाम

वास्तु व स्थापत्य कला की अद्भुत मिशाल है भगवान नरसिंह का प्राचीनतम मंदिर

नरसिंहपुर। प्राचीन काल में जो नगर गड़रियाखेड़ा के नाम से जाना जाता था वह कालांतर में नरसिंहपुर के नाम से विख्यात हुआ। नगर को यह नाम पुरानी बसाहट में स्थापित उस मनोहारी व विशालतम नरसिंह मंदिर की बदौलत मिला है, जो लगभग दो सौ पैंतालिस वर्ष पूर्व जाट सरदार द्वारा निर्मित कराया गया था। बताया जाता है कि सन 1782 में स्व. राव श्री राजकिशोर के पूर्वजों द्वारा मंदिर में भगवान श्री नरसिंह सहित अन्य प्रतिमाओं की प्राण-प्रतिष्ठा करवायी गई थी। भगवान नरसिंह के साथ भगवान श्री लक्ष्मीनारायण, श्री लक्ष्मी नरसिंह व भक्त प्रहलाद की भी नयनाभिराम प्रतिमाएं यहां स्थापित हैं। नगरदेव भगवान नरसिंह की जयंती पर नरसिंह मंदिर में हर वर्ष विशेष पूजन के साथ धार्मिक अनुष्ठानों का आयोजन किया जाता है।

5 मंजिलों मे विभक्त है मंदिर खंभ मे विराजे नगरदेव: जिले के कतिपय लोग ही इस बात से भिज्ञ हैं कि नगर की पुरानी बसाहट में स्थित श्री नरसिंह मंदिर 5 मंजिलों में विभक्त है। जिस स्थान पर मूर्तियां स्थापित हैं अर्थात गर्भगृह है, उसके नीचे व ऊपर भी दो-दो मंजिलें हैं। नीचे की दो मंजिलों को तलघरे का रूप दिया गया है। विराजमान मूर्ति के ठीक नीचे के तलघरे में बनाये गये बेलनाकार खंभ पर ही मूर्तियों की स्थापना की गयी है। नरसिंह जयंती के अवसर पर हर वर्ष कुछ समय के लिए इस तलघरे का द्वार खोला जाता है और शहर के वाशिंदे आस्था के साथ नरसिंह स्तंभ के दर्शन कर पुण्य लाभ अर्जित करते है। पौराणिक काल में हिरण्यकश्यप वध के समय भगवान नरसिंह का अवतरण खंभे को फाड़कर हुआ था, इसी मान्यता के चलते नरसिंह खंभ के दर्शन का विशेष महत्व है

जमीन पर बैठकर और हाथी में चढ़कर भी होते हैं दर्शन: एतिहासिक नरसिंह मंदिर की सबसे बड़ी विशेषता मंदिर के मुख्य द्वार पर ही नजर आ जाती है। यह उस वक्त की वास्तुकला की अद्भुत मिशाल है जिसका अनुभव कभी भी मंदिर पहुंचकर किया जा सकता है। मंदिर का निर्माण कुछ इस तरह से किया गया था कि मंदिर के बाहर से ही भगवान की मूर्तियों के स्पष्ट दर्शन हो जाते हैं। चाहे जमीन पर बैठकर देखो या फिर हाथी पर खड़े होकर भगवान नरसिंह के दर्शन अवश्य होंगे।

एयर कंडीशनर का अहसास कराता है तलघर: मंदिर का तलघरा जिसमें पवित्र नरसिंह खंभ स्थित है वह हर व्यक्ति की जिज्ञासा का विषय है। जो श्रद्धालु तलघरा में प्रवेश कर चुका है उसकी जिज्ञासा तो काफी हद तक शांत हो जाती है पर नया अनुभव भी मिलता है। नरसिंह मंदिर का यह तलघरा मई माह की भीषण गर्मी में भी एयर कंडीशनर का अहसास कराता है। बाहरी तापमान की तुलना में यहां का तापमान 6 से 8 डिग्री सेल्सियस तक कम होता है, जिससे सिद्ध होता है कि उस वक्त भी तकनीकों का बेहद कम खर्च में काफी अच्छा प्रयोग होता था।

तालाब में खुलती है सुरंग, स्रान करने जाती थीं रानी: नरसिंह मंदिर की प्राचीनता के साथ उसमें बनायी गई बेजोड़ कलाकृतियां जहां मंदिर के महत्व को बहुगुणित कर देती है वही मंदिर से जुड़ी हुई कई किवदंतियां आज भी चर्चा में है। जाट राजा नरसिंह वार्ड में स्थित जिस बाखर में निवास करते थे वहां से नरसिंह मंदिर तक जाने वाली एक सुरंग आज भी है जो मंदिर के पीछे बने हुए तलाब में खुलती है। पूर्व में रानी इसी सुरंग के रास्ते पूजन हेतु मंदिर आती थी। कहा तो यह भी जाता है कि यहां भगवान नरसिंह तीन प्रहरों में तीन रूपों में दर्शन देते है। याने हर पहर में उनका रूप परिवर्तित हो जाता है।

विशेष बात यह है कि पिछले पांच वर्षों से श्री देव नरसिंह मंदिर ट्रस्ट द्वारा काफी काम कराया गया है। साथ ही 25 मई 2023 को भगवान श्री गणेश की स्थापना भी यहां की गई है।

नरसिंहपुर मंदिर के निर्माण का काल

पत्रिका अखबार में अजय खरे का लेख 16.12.2016 को प्रकाशित हुआ था जिसमें नरसिंहपुर मंदिर के पुजारी प्रमोद कुमार सोनकिया के हवाले से बताए अनुसार मंदिर करीब 600 साल पुराना है तथा 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. ^[82]

नोट: जाट समाज के लोगों ने पत्रिका की इस जानकारी को गलत बताया है। इन न्यूजपेपर वालों को नरसिंहपुर के राजपरिवार से संपर्क करने की जरूरत थी। नरसिंहपुर के संस्थापक जाट सरदार भरतपुर व आगरा के निकट से ग्वालियर होते हुए गडरिया खेड़ा पहुचे थे। इनका गोत्र खिरवार है। यहां पिंडारियों को मारकर अपने कुलदेव नृसिंह भगवान का मंदिर बनाया - इसका नाम नरसिंहपुर रखा। यह कार्य जगभरथ सिंह के नेतृत्व में किया गया ना कि नाथन सिंह के द्वारा। 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|

मंदिर को देखने पर दो-सवा दो सौ वर्ष से पुराना नहीं लगता । 600‌ वर्ष पुराना तो हो ही नहीं सकता । हां ये हो सकता है कि यहां कोई पुरानी मढिया रही होगी और उसी स्थान पर नृसिंह मंदिर का निर्माण किया गया हो । पत्रिका की उपरोक्त जानकारी के अनुसार भी यह स्पष्ट होता है कि जिस जगह पर मंदिर बना है वहां पर एक संत अपनी कुटी बनाकर रहते थे। यह अनुसंधान का विषय है जो क्षेत्र के प्राचीन इतिहास की खोज में सहायक हो सकता है ।

Narsinghpur Jat Gotras Namesake

For details see Narsinghpur Jat Gotras Namesake

Narsinghpur Jat Gotras Namesake is partial list of the peoples or places in Narsinghpur district of Madhya Pradesh, which have phonetic similarity with Jat clans or Jat Places. In list those on the left are Jat clans (or Jat Places) and on right are people or place names in Narsinghpur District. Such a similarity is probably due to the fact that Jats had been inhabitants and rulers of this area in antiquity.

Jat clans having phonetic similarity with villages in Narsinghpur district are not major Jat Gotras but either have very rare distribution or no distribution indicating that these people in antiquity migrated elsewhere or vanished in wars.

R.V. Russell mentions in the District Gazetteers of Narsinghpur-1906 ... The Jats came into Narsinghpur from Dholpur in Rajasthan towards the end of the 18th century. One of the first immigrants was Rao Jagannath, the ancestor of the present proprietor of Narsinghpur. He built the temple of Narsingh which gives the town its name and his success attracted others.^[83]^[84]

Jat Historians^[85] mention that The Jat Sardar Rao Jagbharath , founder of Narsinghpur, was of Khirwar Jat clan. Under his leadership these Jat Sardars, who were followers of god Narsingh, 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.^[86]

Hukum Singh Panwar^[87] has given the ancestry of Bharatpur rulers starting from S.no. 1. Yadu. At S.No.47 is Khira (खिर). Vajra's elder son was Khira (खिर). After Vajra the Khira's line is separate from the ancestry of Bharatpur rulers. Khira was the originator of Khirwar Jat clan. We find large number of villages based on Khir in Narsinghpur district and adjoining areas.

There is further need to study ancient history of these places and establish any inter-connection. This compilation does not claim any inter-connection but is to help further research.
