Panth Piploda was British India's smallest province, with an area of 65 km2 (25 sq mi), and a population of 5267 (male 2666, female 2601) (1941 census).

[1] It was located in the Malwa region, and consisted of several separate enclaves, bounded by the princely states of Gwalior, Jaora, and Dewas.

In c. 1765, the Peshwa of the Maratha Empire assigned the revenues from the villages to the family of Sambhaji Attaji, a Deshastha Brahmin.

This cash allowance was paid to them by the Political Agent in Malwa Agency who realized it from the thakurs in whose territories the villages lay.

The estate was managed by a Superintendent with headquarters at Kharwa (also spelled as Kharua), overseen by the Political Agent at Malwa.
