Was an indian princely state in the Deccan region. It became a princely state when the last monarch died without heirs.

Establishment

January 1840: During the Gurkha War, Mahindar Singh was a strong opponent of rising British power in the region. With the British victory, the rana was deprived of five of his eight parganas, which were transferred to Patiála for a payment of Rs. 130,000. The remaining three parganas of Básál, Bhocháli and Takroli were returned to Mahindar Singh. In 1839, Mahindar Singh died without issue, whereupon Baghát was treated as a lapsed state by the British. A pension to the amount of Rs. 1,282 were assigned to the royal family and the state was formally annexed to British India.
