Ranagir has deep ties to Bundelkhand's history, dating back to the 17th century when King Chhatrasal handed over forts to Bajirao Peshwa, who then entrusted the area to Govind Rao Kher. Furthermore, Rani Lakshmi Bai, a descendant of Govind Rao Kher, built the ancient 300-year-old Harsiddhi Mata Temple located here.
