PREDECESSORS and SHORT
HISTORY: Also known as Moti Jatwad or Warahi
[Joravarkhanji's Estate]. Founded as a result of the
partition of the original state of Bajana amongst three
Bhayat, with Malek Shri Hedar Khan [Hadoji], receiving a
portion of Bajana, Malek Shri Pir Khan [Lakha] receiving
Sitapur and Vanod with Malek Shri Isa Khan [Isaji]
receiving Valivada as his portion. Warahi, and others in
the agency, signed agreements in 1820 by which they became
tributary to the British. In 1826 fresh Engagements were
concluded, binding the chiefs to submission to the British
government, but not to payment of tribute. All chiefs
agreed to forbid the transport of contraband opium through
their territories in 1822. The state of Warahi (or Varahi)
was divided between two branches of the ruling family, who
belonged to a Jat clan of muslims. Their estates were
widely intermingled with those of lesser,
non-jurisdictional estate holders. Rulers were....
