The Singhs

                              Historical background of Amethi  

Amethi is an ancient and a prosperous state. Amethi covers a large area of the district Sultanpur and at present, a Tehsil is named after it. In the beginning, the headquarters of this state was in Raipur, and later on it was shifted to Ramnagar. There were 327 Hadbandi villages under this state by 30th June 1952 but the total no. of villages large and small, was more than 1500. Some of its villages were situated in Mirzapur, Ranchi & Bhagalpur (Bihar). This state was spread over 299 Sq. miles. Later on Kush, the son of Ram Chandra Ji ruled over these parts by adding them to the southern part of Kaushal State.  He made Kushsthali later Ayodhya, the capital of his state. His decendents were 

known as Kachchwaha. Tod, a great historian has consisdered Kachchwaha as Archaic form of Kushwaha. After Kush his descendents ruled in Ayodhya till the advent of Raja Sumitra.He got the famous fort of Rohitasava (Bihar) built and

 

ruled there as well. In 384 A.D. there emerged a Raja named Suryadev (Suhanpal) in this dynasty, who built the famous fort of gwalior & Later on in 886  A.D Raja Nala  ascended to the throne. He was a very able & eminent Raja.  In place

 

of Rohitasgarh Nala made the present day Narvargarh (Gwalior State) the capital of his state.  The original name of Narvargarh was Nalpur, after the name of Raja Nala, which later on became Narvargarh. In this way the modern

 

Narvargarh (Gwalior State) became the capital of Kachchwaha‟s.  The 10th Raja of this dynasty following Nala was Sadhdev, who established the state of Amethi (Uttar Pradesh).  Thus, we can conclude that state of Amethi can trace its

 

origin from the Suryavansh dynasty of Ram Chandra Ji. Goddess Chandika was revered & worshipped by this dynasty as the Jamvoy Mata. The five coloured flag was the flag of state.
