KARAULI 17 GUN SALUTE
STATE
Karauli
state formerly Rajputana States Agency, now in Rajasthan State, area of state
was 1,227 Square miles ,and population of state was 140,525 in 1931. Privy
purse of state on the time of accession was Rs.105,000. The predecessor state of the princely
state of Karauli, the Kingdom of Mathura, was founded
about 995 by Raja Bijai Pal a Rajput ruler. Historical data point to Arjun
Deo as the founder of the Karauli State in 1348. The capital was successively
in the towns of Mathura, Dwarika, Bayana, Timan Garh, Andher Kotla,
Mandrayal, U'ntgir and Bahadurpur.
In 1535 Bahadur Shah of Gujarat
besieged the fort of Chittor, upon which
Humayun himself started to fight against him. Rani Karnawati, the widow of Rana
Sanga, was ruling Chittor as regent.
She also tried to be friendly with the Mughals and sent a Rakhi to Humayun, but Humayun
did not arrive in time. If he would have arrived in time and helped Karnawati,
perhaps it would have been Sisodias as their
close allies. However, Kachwahas became the first allies of Mughals in Rajputana. Bharmal's
policy towards Mughals was merely an extension of his brother's policy.
Bharmal's eldest brother Raja
Puranmal died at the Battle of Mandrail in 1534,
while helping Humayun to recapture the fort of Bayana. He had a son named
Surajmal or Sooja. But he was not recognized as king and his younger brother
Raja Bhim Singh ascended to the throne of Amber. Bhim Singh was succeeded by
his son Raja Ratan Singh and Raja Bharmal succeeded him in 1548.
