History

Venvanshi Maharajas of Singrauli ruled Teonthar as part of their territories till 1947. The Bhurtiya kings ruled here and their administration was run from Kolgarhi only.

It was at the confluence of river Tamasa and Kharari river in the foothills of Vindhya mountain. The area of Tyonthar was ruled by the Venvanshi kings. According to the book Kyoti ki Garhi by historian Ramsagar Shastri, Maharaja Kot Singh of Singrauli expanded the kingdom towards the north in the beginning of the ninth century and conquered the area up to Arail Jhunsi and conquered small kingdoms. There were many small kingdoms on the sprawling land north of Tyonthar and south of Jhunsi. In which there was the kingdom of the Kolas, somewhere of the Bhuttis. The Venvanshi rulers of Singrauli captured Jhunsi and then defeated the small Kol and Bhurtiya kings and took control of them and started ruling by making Tyonthar their stronghold in the north east.
