History
Kumher was founded by a Jat chieftain Kumbh in 1704. In 1754, when Maharaja Surajmal of Bharatpur was the king, the fort at Kumher was sieged by the Marathas as Peshwa Balaji Baji Rao's younger brother Raghoba (supported by chieftains Scindias and Holkars) wanted Surajmal to be subservant to them. However, the siege did not succeed. In 1754, on behest of Mughal Emperor Alamgir II, Khanderao laid the seize of Kumher fort of Jat Maharaja Suraj Mal of Bharatpur State who had sided with Alamgir's adversary Siraj ud-Daulah. Khanderao Holkar, son of Malhar Rao Holkar, was inspecting his troops on an open palanquin in the battle of Kumher when was hit and killed by a cannonball from the Jat army. Marathas (particularly Scindias and Holkars) signed a treaty with Surajmal and withdrew their army. To honor Khanderao, Suraj Mal built a Chhatri on the cremation spot of Khanderao at Kumher.
