DAPHLAPUR NON GUN SALUTE STATE
Daphlapur
State, also
spelled Daflepur, was a Hindu petty princely state of British India. It was a former Maratha territory, one of the
former Southern Maratha Jagirs (feudal
estates).
Daphlapur State
and neighbouring Jath State were
the only two states belonging to the Bijapur Agency under the Bombay Presidency which later would
become part of the colonial Deccan States Agency.
The state had
six villages with an area of only 249 Sq. Km. (96 Sq. Mi) and a population
of 6,006 inhabitants in 1881.
The state was founded in 1680 as Daphlapur. Following
British rule in the area it came under the collector of Bijapur District, together with larger Jath State. The third widow
of the last ruler, Ranibai Lakshmibai Saheb, died without succession and the
dynasty line of the state became extinguished. Then Daphlapur ended up being
annexed by Jath State on 27 January 1917.
The rulers
of the state belonged to the Dafle dynastyand bore the (rarely modest) title
of Deshmukh.On 27 January 1917, the state was
incorporated into Jath, whose rulers (also styled Deshmukh)
shared the same Dafle bloodline, owing to lack of succession and were
awarded a Privy Purse of
49,924 Rupees. The joint state ceased to exist on 8 March 1948 by accession
to Bombay state.
