 After settling the peace in Salan, South Garhwal, Garhwal King Mahipat or Mahipati Shah sent Army General Lodi Rikhola to stop looting in Dehradun valley. The looters from Sirmaur region (Himachal Pradesh) were disturbing subjects of Doon valley.
           Capable administrator Lodi Rikhola repressed the looters of Sirmaur those used to loot Doon valley regularly. Lodi Rikhola captured the forts of Kalsi Garh, Jaunsar  (old capital of Sirmaur), Kani Garh, Bairat Garh and other nearby forts. After that, Sirmaur King Mat Prakash or Mandhata Prakash could never free those forts from Garhwal Kingdom.
         According to Bhakt Darshan, Lodi Rikhola dispatched looters of Sirmaur from Garhwal region with brave and also cruel methods.
Lodi Rikhola entered into Sirmaur region and killed the looters and their bosses. Lodi Rikhola spread the terror in Sirmaur that the king promised to stop looters going to Garhwal.
  According to Bhakt Darshan, the terror of Lodi Rikhola in Sirmoor, Sirmmour or Srimor was so terrible that the people took vow that till they don’t produce a Bhad as brave and strong Lodi Rikhola for taking revenge from Garhwal, their women would not have Nada in their Petikot and they would not have ‘Ghur’ on the house roof. This folk story is just a self praising story common in Garhwal. 

                                     Sad Death of Lodi Rikhola

 After the successful campaign in Tibet, South Garhwal and west Dehradun, Lodi Rikhola became very powerful general in Shrinagar court. His rivals became worried. The rivals of Lodi Rikhola killed Lodi Rikhola by conspiracy. Lodi was killed by wound of sword.

                       By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Research Student)
 Madho Singh Bhandari had been one of the great personalities of Garhwal in its whole history.

                                     Brave and Enthusiastic Madho Singh Bhandari
  Madho Singh Bhandari was brave soldier that is why Garhwal King appointed him chief assistant of Great Chief of Army Staff Lodi Rikhola. It was his character that Madho Singh Bhandari became Chief of Army Staff of Garhwal Kingdom after the sad demise of Lodi Rikhola.
  Madho Singh was enthusiastic and had quality of inspiring soldiers. Madho Singh Bhandari was cool and calm in adverse situation. When he was wounded badly in Basher campaign and was just to die, he did not lose his temper and advised his assistants to keep secret his death and slowly back from the battle field. He also advised to keep his body intact in oil wet cloth. By doing so, the enemy could not destroy his whole army.

             Planner, Strategist, Diplomat  and great Executor Madho Singh Bhandari



                     Madho Singh Bhandari was great planner, strategist and was capable manger to execute his strategies.
Madho Singh was also great diplomat. He erected terraces in border of Garhwal- Tibet for boundary demarcation.
                       Great Social Worker Madho Singh Bhandari

 Madho Singh Bhandari was great social worker. Madho Singh Bhandari was from Maletha village, Tehri Garhwal. The village land was fertile but there was no water for irrigation. There was rivulet beyond a hill of Maletha. Madho Singh Bhandari dug a one furlong long tunnel canal to bring water from that river. This tunnel is live exhibition of hard labor, planning of Madho Singh Bhandari
 It is said in folklore that when the canal was ready the water did not flow from river to canal. The astrologer told to Madho Singh Bhandari that canal was asking human sacrifice. Madho Singh Bhandari killed his only son Gaje Singh at the beginning of canal. However, by worshipping Goddess Gaje Singh became alive.  Later on Gaje Singh became minister and commander in Garhwal Kingdom.
 The following folksong is proof of his bravery and strategist-
Ek Singh raundo ban, ek Singh Gay ka,
Ek Singh Madho Singh aur Singh kayeka?
(One lion (Singh) lives in forest, another Singh (horn) is of cow
One Lion (Singh) is Madho Singh, why do we require another lion (Singh)? That means no other person should attach Singh on his name.

              Garhwal King Mahipati Shah was on the way from Rishikesh to participate in Kumbh Mela in Haridwar. Mahipat Shah saw that Naga Sanyasi (Serpent Sages) were naked, having ash rubbed on their whole body and were having weapons in their hands. Mahipat Shah became angry by watching sages keeping weapons. Garhwal king Mahipati Shah ordered his army men to kill those Naga sages.
 Garhwal army killed more than five hundred Naga sages and also killed common men. There was bloodshed near Haridwar. It is said that there was a badly injured Naga sage instead of bleeding milk was coming from his body. The sage died before Mahipati Shah. Mahipati Shah felt deep sorry for his sinful deed.

           After visiting Haridwar for Kumbh Fair, Mahipati Shah returned to Shrinagar. Mahipati Shah asked learned persons for repent of his deeds as visiting Muslim prostitutes, taking out eyes of Bharat statue, killing Naga Sages and other sinful deeds. The learned persons suggested him the following performances to get rid of sins done by the king-
1-Donation, donation of cows, Hvan, Pujan etc
2-To die by burning into cavity of Banyan or Peepal tree
or
3-To die by gulping melting gold
Or
4- To die while fighting a battle
