History

Khutar was part of the then Nahil estate at the time of Raja Gopal Shah, who was the then ruler of Nahil. It later came under one of the descendants of Rao Gopal Singh, Raja Gopal Shah Ji Deo, after the division of property and power. He was the elder brother of Kunwar Shambhu Shah of Jewan. The present ruler of Khutar is Raja Vijay Shah Judeo (titles and kingdoms were abolished in 1971 by the Government of India).

Khutar Garhi

There were two garhis in Khutar Purvi Garhi and Paschimi Garhi. However, now these are two wards. A famous Churi Wali Gali connects these both wards, this gali (street) has dense market in it. Garhi, also called the Fort of Khutar, is a multi-acre palace where descendants of the erstwhile royal family of Khutar's King Gopal Shah live. Currently, the family of Raja Vijay Shah and Rajkumar Raghvendra Shah lives there.
