a fortified town of Hindustan, in the territory of Gwalior, or possessions of the Scindia family, situated on the route from Etawa to Gwalior, 28 miles N.E. of the latter. About the middle of the last century Gohud was a small village attached to the district of Gwalior, and the rannah's ancestors were zemindars of this village. Bheem Singh, the rannah, prior to the battle of Paniput, in 1761 acquired possession of Gwalior, but it was taken from him by the Mahrattas. When this nation lost the battle of Paniput, the rannah of Gohud attempted to shake off their yoke, but was conquered by Ragoonaath Row in 1766, and compelled to continue tributary. On a subsequent rupture Gohud was taken by Scindia, in 1784. A treaty was concluded by the British government, 17th Jan. 1804, with the rannah of Gohud, by which he was to be established in the sovereignty of Gohud, Gwalior, and a considerable number of adjacent districts. This treaty however was never carried into effect, and a new treaty was concluded, by which the rajah agreed to relinquish the country and fort of Gohud and the adjoining districts to Scindia, receiving in exchange from the British government the territory of Dhlopoor, which is still ruled by his descendants. Gohud is in E. Long. 78° 26', N. Lat. 26° 25'.
