Maha Rana Bhogwunt Singh, G.C.S.I, the present ruling
Prince of Dholepore, is the fifty-first in descent from the
original founder of this long line of princes, Maha Rana
Birram Pal. From its great extent and the number of

and others, situated within its limits, the principality of
Gohud was one of the most powerful and influential of
the Hindoo States of Northern Hindostan. About 1723 a.d.,
the Mahrattas commenced extending their conquests from
the Deccan to Central India. Ranojee Scindiah, who com
menced life as the menial servant of the Peshwah Balojee
Vishunath, becoming a great favourite with his master, was
