Sitamau was one of the princely states of the Central India Agency of British India in what is now the state of Madhya Pradesh . Its capital was the place Sitamau . Raja Kesho of Ratlam from the house of the Rathore - Rajputs of Marwar (Jodhpur) had fallen out of favor with the Mughal Mughal Aurangzeb and his fiefdom had been withdrawn from him. After the Mughal had forgiven him, he gave him Sitamau in 1701, which came under the suzerainty of Scindia von Gwalior in the course of the Marathas .
Sitamau was a British protectorate from 1819 to 1947 and in 1901 had an area of 532 km² and a population of 24,000. The Raja was annexed to India on June 15, 1948 and joined the Madhya Bharat Princely Union on June 16 . On November 1, 1956, all princely states of the Union were dissolved and incorporated into the state of Madhya Pradesh .
