Short History

The family of Pai, which originally settled in Jaipur, immigrated into Alwar in 1775 after Maharao Raja Partap Singh had established his independence and received the estate of Nizamnagar, the present seat of the House. The hereditary title of Rao was conferred on the then Jagirdar by the Darbar. The estate consists of two villages (village of Nizamnagar, half of Berka and half of Behari) of the annual income of Rs 2,000, and keeps up four horses for the service of the State.
