Bidwal, Former feudal estate in Badnawar Mandal, Madhya Pradesh, India.
Bidwal is a settlement in western India that developed from a feudal estate granted to local leaders centuries ago. The village sits in the Badnawar region and functions as a residential community with basic services for its residents.
The estate was founded by Thakur Fateh Singh from the Rathore Rajput clan and became part of the Dhar princely state under Maratha rule. By the early 1900s it had developed into an administrative center controlling surrounding villages.
The village maintains traditional governance structures through a gram panchayat system, with a population of 6,777 residents as of 2011.
The settlement connects to nearby Badnawar through road access and offers basic transportation links to the region. Visitors should plan visits around local transport schedules, as bus services provide the main connection for moving between the area and nearby towns.
In 1928, the estate controlled eight villages within Badnawar pargana and generated an annual revenue of 51,000 Rupees.
