It was a relatively small Sanad.
History
Maharaja Vyaghradev Solanki, a scion of Anhilwara Patan in Gujrat, fl. 1234 A.D. (631 H.E.), he laid foundation of Baghelkhand (House of Baghel); married Maharani Singhumati, daughter of Makund Dev Chandravat, and had issue, five sons.
Rao Kandhar Dev who was the 5th son of Maharaja Vyaghradev of Rewah, born 663 Samvat, in 683 Samvat his elder brother conferred on him the title of Rao with Illaka Pardhwan, which yielded an income of Rs. 12 Lac per annum, from that time the family is known as the Kasauta Rao family and in the mid of 16th century one of their descendant Jagat Rai Singh Baghel migrated towards present day Satna in the mid of 16th century and established the Kothi Princely State, presently which comes under Satna district of Madhya Pradesh.
Kothi State was founded in the mid of 16th century by a Baghel Rajput ruler who expelled the former Bharr ruler of the area.[2]
Towards the beginning of the nineteenth century, and in much the same manner as neighbouring Sohawal, Kothi became a British protectorate initially subordinate to Panna State. However, a separate sanad was granted to Rais Lal Duniyapati Singh in 1810.[2]
The last ruler of Kothi signed the instrument of accession to the Indian Union on 1 January 1950.[citation needed]
