KALAHANDI (NON SALUTE STATE)
Kalahandi State,
also known as Karond State, was one of the princely states of India during the
period of the British Raj. It was recognized as a state in 1874 and had
its capital in Bhawanipatna. Its last
ruler signed the accession to the Indian Union on 1 January 1948.
History
Kalahandi
was the largest of the 26 Feudatory states of Odisha. According to
local tradition the state originated with Raja Raghunath Sai of the Naga
dynasty beginning to rule the Kalahandi area in 1005, therefore the
state's coat
of arms had two cobras facing each
other.
In
August 1947 Kalahandi became part of the Eastern States Union, an
entity that was formed in Rajpur and that
gathered most of the princely states of Orissa and Chhattisgarh. The
Eastern States Union was dissolved in 1948. The formerly princely state's
territory is now within Kalahandi District.
