History

The founder of the family was a Rajput, fled from Rajpura in the Ambala district, on the invasion of India by Shahab-ud-din Ghori in the 14th century, and conquered the territory of Dhami. The State was formerly a feudatory of Bilaspur, but it was made directly dependent on the British Power upon the expulsion of the Gurkhas in 1815. The Rana maintains a military force of 60 infantry (in 1893).
