Piplod

The Thikana of Piplod was ruled by the Sanchora branch of the illustrious Chauhan dynasty, an offshoot of the Songara Chauhans of Jalore who derived their name from their ancestral seat in Sanchore, Rajasthan. Following the geopolitical shifts and military conflicts in medieval Rajputana, members of this clan migrated southward into the fertile Nimar and Malwa regions of Central India, where they established their local hegemony and founded the estate of Piplod. Throughout the Mughal and Maratha epochs, the Thakur Sahibs of Piplod maintained their administrative autonomy and agrarian influence, eventually entering into treaty relations with the British Raj under the Central India Agency before finally integrating their estate into the Indian Union post-independence.
