History

Nayagarh was founded before 1550 by Raja Surya Mani, a scion of the Rewa Royal Family. Khandpara State was initially part of Nayagarh State, but became a separate kingdom in 1599. The rulers were Rajputs of the Baghela or Vaghela dynasty.

Rulers

The rulers of Nayagarh State bore the title of Raja. The emblem of the Nayagarh royal family was the head of a tiger, the same state symbol as that of the rulers in neighbouring Khandpara State.
