History

This family descendents from Babu Pratap Singh of Pratapgarh Taluk. Maurha was founded in 1894 by Mohar Singh. Singh was a Rajput of Somvanshi dynasty. Mohar Singh was the Raja of Maurha during the 1894 to 1923, and fixed his headquarter at Maurha. Mohar Singh built a Bhawan (fort) and called it Mohar Bhawan after himself. Subsequently, the area around the fort became known as Maurha. The dynasty name is derived from soma, ‘the moon’ and was applied to all those descended from the Moon, but later came to denote a particular clan.
