Siba State

[1] It was centered on the town of Dadasiba, Pragpur tehsil, Kangra district, in modern-day Himachal Pradesh.

[1] In 1849 the territory of Datarpur was added to Siba Jagir (1/3 part of land of Mian Devi Singh) and annexed by the British Raj as 'Dada-Siba'.

[1] The ruling family came from the Sibaia (Sabaia) clan, sharing relations with the royals of Kangra, Guler, Jaswan, and Datarpur states.

[1] Govind's successor, Raja Ram Singh (r. 1845–74) expelled the Sikhs during the second Anglo-Sikh war.

[1] Ram Singh renovated the Radha-Krishna temple of Siba and constructed a palace on a hill-top.

[1] The British would restore the quarterly share of territory of Siba that Ram seized earlier back to Bijai in 1858.

[1] Ram Singh had no issue and after his death, the palace he had constructed atop of the hill was abandoned and left to decay.
