known as Rath, The place is said to be the home of chauhan Rajput
claiming descent from Prithvi Raj the last Hindu emperor. One of the
descendents of Prithvi Raj the, embraced Islam and settled here.

recognized so by the ruler of Alwar. Lord lake in 1803, as a
punitive measure for the shelter and assistance given by then chief
to the Marathas, confiscated the villages of the estate and made
them over to Alwar. However, about one third of state was
subsequently restored to the cheif, who remained a tributary of
Alwar state. This subordination of Nimrana to Alwar had been the
subject of many disputes and controversies which came to an end in
1861 when the chief refused to accept the supremacy of Aiwar ruier.

the estate. The chief fled to Jaipur. However, the dispute was
settled by the Vicerory in Council in 1868. It is an insignificant
place today.
