Short History

Raja Prithviraj of Amber included the “Sheobramhpota” into the 12 Principal houses of Amber called the Bara Kothri. As a Tazimi thikana, it is notable that only three of the twelve Principal houses came from predecessors of Raja Prithvirajji.

Nindar was founded by Rao Shivbramh, the fourth son of Raja Udaikaranaji of Amber (Jaipur) in 1366/1388. He received 51 villages, including Nindar, as his inheritance.
