Sirohi ( Hindi : सिरोही , Sirohī ) was one of the princely states of the Rajputs in today's Rajasthan ( British India ), named after its capital of the same name . The royal house goes back to Rao Alhana, ruler of Nadol from the Rajput clan of the Deora- Chauhan . Rao Ranmal (1374–92) founded the city of Sirohi, Rao Sobhaji (1392–24) Shivpuri . Rao Sains Mal (1424–51) gave up Shivpuri and made Sirohi the capital of the princely state in 1435, which never submitted to the sovereignty of the Mughals .
In 1823 Sirohi placed itself under the protection of the British and remained a British protectorate until 1947. Rao Keshri Singh (1889–1920) was raised by the British to Maharaoh. Sirohi 1941 had an area of 4141 km² and 260,000 inhabitants. On January 15, 1949, the connection to India followed . Most of the princely state came to Rajasthan on January 26, 1950, and was dissolved on November 1, 1956.
