though as suggested by the numerous ruins of buildings and other old remains lies
scattered at various places, viz Orchha, Garh Kudar, Prithvipur, Barana, Lidhoura, Digora,
Mohangarh, Baldeogarh and Tikamgarh, it must be having a glorious past. The district was
the part of vast empires successively ruled by the Mauryas, the Sungas and the imperial
Guptas. It was in the first quarter of ninth century A.D., that Mannuka founded a new
dynasty the Chandella dynasty in this area. Tikamgarh alongwith Khajuraho and Mahoba
formed part of extensive Chandella Kingdom. The Khangras also held this region specially
around Garh Kundar. The rising power of Bundelas in this region resulted into the downfall
of the Khangras. The Orchha records trace the descent of the Bundela Kingdom of Orchha
from Garh Kudar chiefs of Benaras Hemkaran, also known as Pancham Bundela.
