Sitamau State

Sitamau State was a princely state of the British Raj before 1947. Its capital was in Sitamau town, Mandsaur district, Madhya Pradesh. The total area of the state was 350 square miles. The average revenue of the state was Rs.130,000. Ratan Singh Rathore was killed in the battle of Dharmat, after which his descendants continued to rule Ratlam. In 1695 some soldiers of the Raja killed the Jaziya tax collectors due to which the Mughals completely annexed Ratlam. The ruling dynasty was later compensated with the Pargana of Titrod from which Raja Keshodas founded Sitamau in 1701. The State of Ratlam was restored to an uncle of Keshodas called Chattrasal in 1705. In 1714 the emperor Faruksiyar further added the paragana of Alot to the new state.
