Sibaia/Sibaiah[edit]
The Sibaiah sub-clan is one of the sub-divisions of the ancient Katoch dynasty, originating from the Kangra region of Himachal Pradesh, India.[1]
Origin and History[edit]
Hailing from Siba, also known as Dadasiba. Founded by Raja Sibarna Chand, a younger brother of the Raja of Guler about 1450. [2]This new state came to be known as Siba State. The state was seized by Guler in 1808, annexed by the Sikhs in 1813, and restored by the British in 1830, but finally dispossessed by them in 1849.
The Sibaiah sub-clan has had a lasting legacy on the history and culture of Himachal Pradesh. They were a powerful and influential clan who ruled over a large territory for centuries. Their rulers were patrons of art and culture, and they built many temples and palaces that still stand today. The Sibaiah sub-clan also contributed to the development of the Kangra School of Painting, which is one of the most important schools of Indian painting.
The Sibaiah sub-clan continues to be an important part of the identity of Himachal Pradesh. Their history and culture are celebrated in many festivals and events, and their descendants continue to play an active role in the state's politics and society.
