Short History
Founded as a result of the partition of the original state of Bajana amongst three Bhayat, with Malek Shri Hedar Khan [Hadoji], receiving a portion of Bajana, Malek Shri Pir Khan [Lakha] receiving Sitapur and Vanod with Malek Shri Isa Khan [Isaji] receiving Valivada as his portion. Warahi, and others in the agency, signed agreements in 1820 by which they became tributary to the British. In 1826 fresh Engagements were concluded, binding the chiefs to submission to the British government, but not to payment of tribute. All chiefs agreed to forbid the transport of contraband opium through their territories in 1822. The state of Warahi (or Varahi) was divided between two branches of the ruling family. Their estates were widely intermingled with those of lesser, non-jurisdictional estate holders.
The Malek Shri had the powers equivalent to that of a First Class Magistrate in Criminal matters and he had the power of hearing civil suits up to the value of 5,000Rs. The State held no Sanad of adoption. Primogeniture governed succession.
