Narsinghgarh ( Narsingarh ) 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 of Narsinghgarh . From the predecessor state Umatwara, whose Rajput prince bore the title Rawat since 1448, the principalities of Rajgarh and Narsinghgarh emerged in 1681 by dividing the inheritance . In the course of the Marathas Narsingharh came under the suzerainty of the Holkar of Indore . Narsingharh was a British protectorate from 1818 to 1947 and in 1948 had an area of 1920 km² and 140,000 inhabitants. Rawat Hanwant Singhji was raised to Raja in 1872 .
Narsinghgarh 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 .
