Jigni State
Origins
Jigni arose in the 18th century from the division of Bundela lands among the descendants of Maharaja Chhatrasal of Panna. It was confirmed to its chief by a British sanad in the early 19th century.
Rule and society
Only a few villages were attached to it, and little is recorded of its internal history. It was a non-salute state of the Bundelkhand Agency under a Rao.
Decline and legacy
After independence Jigni was merged with the other Bundelkhand states into Vindhya Pradesh, and its lands were absorbed into the Indian administrative system by 1950.
Few sources survive for this state; details are uncertain.
