==History==
{{Main|Bijawar State}}
The native state of Bijawar covered an area of 2520 km<sup>2</sup> (973 sq. m.) in the [[Bundelkhand Agency]]. Forests covered nearly half the total area of the state, which was believed to be rich in minerals, but lack of transport facilities had hindered the development of its resources.

The state takes its name from the chief town, Bijawar, which was founded by Bijai Singh, one of the [[Raj Gond|Gond]] chiefs of Garha Mandla, in the 17th century. The first ruler of the state was Bir Singh Deo (1765–93), a [[Bundela]] [[Rajput]] descended from the ruler of [[Orchha State|Orchha]]. It was conquered in the 18th century by Chhatarsal, the founder of [[Panna State|Panna]], a Rajput of the Bundela clan, by whose descendants it was held till its accession to India. It was confirmed to Ratan Singh in 1811 by the British government for the usual deed of allegiance. In 1857 Bhan Pratap Singh rendered signal services to the British during the Mutiny, being rewarded with certain privileges and a hereditary [[gun salute|salute of eleven guns]]. In 1866 he received the title of ''[[Maharaja]]'', and the prefix ''Sawai'' in 1877. Bhan Pratap was succeeded on his death in 1899 by his adopted son, Sanwant Singh, a son of the Maharaja of Orchha.<ref>{{EB1911|inline=1 |wstitle=Bijawar |volume=3 |page=928}}</ref><ref>[http://www.uq.net.au/~zzhsoszy/ips/b/bijawar.html Princely state - Bijawar]</ref>

The state acceded to India on 1 January 1950, and became part of the state of [[Vindhya Pradesh]], which was merged into Madhya Pradesh on 1 November 1956.

Bijawar is also known for Jatashankar, a holy place about 18 km from the town.
Bijawar is also known for Janki Nibas Temple because it is similar to Ayodhya Temple. Another famous temple, Kanchan Temple, was built by Maharani Kanchan Kuwar of Bijawar. Maharani Kanchan Kuwar was born in Karahiya and Princes of Karahiya and was the daughter of H.H Rao Shahab of Karahiya.
