Chhuikhadan (historically also known as Kondka) holds a highly unique position in the history of Chhattisgarh. While most princely states in the region were ruled by traditional Rajput or Gond tribal kings, Chhuikhadan was governed by a line of Bairagi (ascetic/monk) rulers belonging to the Nirmohi Akhara and Nimbarka Sampradaya.
​Today, it is a prominent town and block within the Khairagarh-Chhuikhadan-Gandai (KCG) district.
