The Mayurdwaj rehabilitated the Tadwi, Golar, Gavli, and Bhil communities and settled in here the Rajput's and Gurjars of Gujrat states and therefore this locality was called as Mardana.
Before year 1903, there was 32 mahaals Kacheri in the Khargone District of Western Nimad. And because of this the Khargone was then, popularly known As Khargone Battishi. The village Mardana was also known, to had one of those mahaals. But afterward the Kashrawad got the mahaal, and the village was added to Kashrawad Town.

The ruins show the sinhasana (seat) of Maharaja Mayuradhvaja in a cave. The fort has a hidden ghat (gupt ghat) and a guhavasi Shiva.[4] The village was also among the sites selected by Malwa queen Rani Ahilyabai to build her capital because of its history and mentions in the vedic puranas.

And He discusses his concern as, " We in Mardana do not want the dam.I cannot personally believe that dam will come up because the project is such a bad one’ ,Kalu singh is convinced that,in the end authorities will see sense.’ But if it does , the people here are not willing to leave. They would rather drown. This Land is among the most fertile in the country .Kalu Singh Mandloi asks: "Why destroy it? ‘These people, of Mardana,of Nimad,are farmers. They can only farm, they can do no other thing. There is no land like this for them to go to-the state has admitted it. So what can they do if their village is destroyed? They can drown. That is all". .[8]
