History
editLakhahi was founded in c. 1461 as Usiya (an independent territory). Rao Kalyan Mal was the founder of Lakhahi Raj, who migrated from Jodhpur - Marwar. He conquered local tribals and other territories along with his relatives, who were Sonagara Chauhan's (Jhandi, Isanagar, Kafara, Dhauraha, Sujanpur) from the Marwar's region. The total number of conquered villages was 989. The territory was under Banjara rule when Raja Kalyan Mal came here.
Following India's independence on August 15, 1947, the Lakhahi Zamindari estate was integrated into the Dominion of India and later the Republic of India. Raja Vishwanath Baksh Singh was the last ruler of the Lakhahi.[1][3] After his death on 7 January 1972, his son Raja Dr. Munendra Pal Singh proceeded as incumbent Titular ruler of Lakhahi.[1][3]
